Fragments of the Apocalypse by Jeremyville - Character Walk for PICTOPLASMA Berlin 2011

EVENT-PRESS: ‘Fragments of the Apocalypse’ is a new series of paintings by New York based artist Jeremyville, dealing with the last days of pop culture on earth, the death of well known icons, and the carnage of the cute. It’s an end game in which pop finally eats itself, apocalyptic birds pick at the decaying carcass of a long dead Mickey, cannibal Smurfs on acid wield deathly axes, and the entrails of our consumer society corpse spill out and seep back into a dying earth.



The show will feature a giant 7 x 17 feet canvas work (an edition of 3), from the 'Fragments of the Apocalypse' series (sneaks shown here). Besides showing his work at SOTO (from April 6th), Jeremyville and Creative Director Megan Mair will also be speaking at the Pictoplasma Conference in Berlin, happening Thursday April 7th

Jeremyville also adds (from his blog): "Exploring a color palette of lurid candy pinks, neon sign yellows, newsprint greys, dirty gelati pastels, and the deepest midnight black, this is a series about the end days of our pop consumer culture, and a document of those character strewn landscapes of destruction." ~The disemboweled icons are irresistible! LOL
