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!

Kickass Kuties – The Art of Lisa Petrucci

I’m pleased to announce that
KICKASS KUTIES – THE ART OF LISA PETRUCCI
hardcover art book is now available!

Walk through a sparkling wonderland of make-believe, a cotton-candy-colored dreamworld of hearts, flowers and switchblades, of glamorous, dewey-eyed cartoon pin-up gals, kutie-pie kowgirls, leopard-skinned sweeties, hatchet-wielding honeys, and the cuddliest devil kitties Hell has to offer. The art of Lisa Petrucci is a honey-coated maelstrom of contradictions — the innocence of lost Americana, childhood nostalgia, and traditional feminine iconography all presented with a rebellious spirit. Kickass Kuties: The Art of Lisa Petrucci, is the first collection of the artist’s remarkable catalog, a hallucinatory tour through an emporium of cultural chaos, a bipolar gallery of imagery both sacred and profane. 112 pages of eye candy. Foreword by Kirsten Anderson, author of Pop Surrealism: The Rise of Underground Art. Published by Dark Horse Books.
