Poptarteds is a 2222-piece visual manifesto that captures the absurdity of our image-obsessed hedonist society. Bold, unapologetic, and outrageous; this is not just a collection. This is a movement.
Unlike anything seen before, with its distinctive AI art style by emerging artist Alice Gordon, Poptarteds is a vibrant pastiche of pop culture references. It is a bold critique of the commodification of the self and the infantilization of adult culture amidst modern identity politics.
The collection interrogates how appearance has become a currency in an era where personal identity is often reduced to performative acts for public consumption. It critiques the performative mimicry of cultural trends and the pervasive cardboard superficiality that dominate the self-broadcast age, challenging viewers to reflect on the authenticity of self-expression. Through its exaggerated visuals and the cacophony of its themes each piece reflects the conflicts of a culture incessantly chasing novelty and the next wave of self-definition.
