SADDEST PLACE ON EARTH ART OF CAMILLE ROSE GARCIA HC (O/A) (

Description

"Camille Rose Garcia's world is a beautiful place. It is the ballroom of an Empire, a forest of aquamarine jewels, a place where cream layered cakes and crystal castles sedate the masses. As the telescope retracts, the glossy veneer of privilege falls away to reveal another reality, one of machine guns and machetes that decorate the landscape alongside exploding poppies while deer and princesses hang suspensefully in a cloud of malaise, and disbelief becomes the ether of the living. Garcia draws inspiration for her creepy dystopias from her upbringing in the generic suburbs of Orange County. Her disenchantment with society brought her into a world of subversive art and music. Garcia's work has been featured in Juxtapoz, Paper, Flaunt, and Blab."
