EdgyCute – From Neo-Pop to Low Brow and Back Again
Doe-eyed girls in pink dresses, animated deserts, bubbly cartoon characters – at first blush these qualities seem to define the work contained in EdgyCute. But a closer look reveals other creepy imagery lurking about amongst the sweetness. Harry Saylor, owner of Orbit Gallery, has assembled a motley band of artists that dwell in the nether regions of our imaginations where malevolence and immorality transmogrify purity and naivety, breeding the EdgyCute aesthetic. While the work of these 47 artists varies greatly, it all strikes irresistible poses that have found their ways into museums and galleries, marketing campaigns and our dreams. List of artists include myself, Ana Bagayan, Gary Baseman, Becca, Chris Crites, Kirsten Easthope, Ryan Heshka, Angelique Houltkamp, Travis Lampe, Elizabeth McGrath, Mitch O’Connell, Kathie Olivas, Brandt Peters, Kevin Scalzo, Shag, Keith Weesner, Derek Yaniger and many more!
