Lorenzo Masnah: Bonita

Lorenzo Masnah... Bertha 33 (mixed media on panel). From the exhibition Lorenzo Masnah: Bonita at Fuse. "...In this body of work, Masnah criticizes the objectification of women by the media. Influenced by street art, he collages magazine images of 60’s pin ups and 'bombs' and 'tags' them. Defacing these nostalgic beauties with contemporary graphic imagery allows his work to transcend a specific era. He utilizes outlining, shading and other graffiti techniques to emphasize peculiarities and expressions of the women in these vintage prints."
