Hollyweird

HOLLYWEIRD Collage, Oil Stick, Pastel & Acrylic on Canvas | 36" × 24" | 2024

Sex sells. Hollywood knew it first.

Hollyweird is a wall of the twentieth century's greatest myths — iconic movie posters, film stills and the faces that built the dream factory, collaged across the canvas in a dense, overlapping archive of glamour, violence, desire and spectacle. Jaws. Marilyn. Humphrey Bogart. The shark. The blonde. The man with the gun. All of it layered and pressed together the way the Hollywood machine actually worked — everything simultaneously, nothing quite what it appeared, the whole gorgeous apparatus running on image and illusion and the absolute certainty that someone somewhere would always be watching.

Over and through and across it all — oil stick, pastel and spray paint in neon yellow, green, red and blue. HOLLYWOOD spelled out in dripping crimson across the lower canvas. SEX SELLS announced without apology in the middle. The marks are graffiti and commentary and pure painterly energy simultaneously — the contemporary hand writing itself over the archive, claiming it, questioning it, celebrating it and finding it deeply, darkly funny all at once.

This is a painting about the stories we told ourselves for a century through a projector in the dark. About the icons we made and the myths we fed them to. About Hollywood — which was always, if you looked properly, a little weird.
