Australian artist Nicky Barkla creates bold, mixed media
paintings, here using liquid acrylic and water color pencils. Her paintings of
pop culture icons explode with vivid colors that swirl, mix and melt together
in beautiful controlled accidents.
Titled “Everybody But Me”,
Barkla’s powerful interpretation of Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein Monster is
meant to evoque the crucial scene from Mary Shelley’s novel where The Monster
confronts its creator, demanding a mate. Here, the Monster emerges from a star
field that suggest the depth of its loneliness and the endless breadth of its
aspirations.
