Zoe VanZyl presents: Bubblegum Guts @COMINGSOON
“The paintings in this exhibition are an exploration of mortality through a lens of femininity, esotericism, and the strangeness or corporeality. This series began almost accidentally with neoapocalypse, an exploration into the glamorization of death through mold, crosses and bones in the form of a “zombie girl”. These girls wear their hearts on their sleeves, or in some cases on a gold chain around their neck. They are beautiful and strange; editorial and eerie. This show unravels the idea of the “divine femininity” into a grotesque surreality, exposing the parts of ourselves we don’t quite understand and turning it into something ornamental. ”
“Hot girl relishes in gore and grotesque visions because she knows that to be alive is to be disgusting, and to be disgusting is to be closer to God.” – anonymous, tumblr
