Artist Alex Pardee â€re-imagined†these pop culture icons as bloated creatures for a collaborative exhibition with Dave Correia at the Blonde Grizzly Gallery in Salt Lake City, Utah. According to Pardee, he’s calling them “ICANS,†as a statement against proposed SOPA legislation.
Here is what Pardee says about the ICANS (from Juxtapoz):
I will be debuting a brand new series of 15 new paintings called “ICANSâ€. Why am I calling them “Icansâ€? Glad you didn’t really ask, but I’m telling you anyway. Well, because whether SOPA passes or not, I will continue to take any licensed character, or pop culture icon and do whatever I want with it for art’s sake, because ICAN. Also, I just want to conduct an ongoing experiment to see if ICAN take any cool icon from pop culture and make it way shittier by “re-imagining†it. So far, much like Hollywood does most of the time, the experiment is a super fun success!
Alex Pardee is an artist, writer, and apparrel designer, who has produced work for Kid Robot, The Used, Juxtapoz magazine, among many other things.
