You'd be forgiven in thinking the work of Wisonsin artist,
Greg Gossel looks somewhat familiar. To me it's a little
Roy Lichtenstein with it's
recurring use of retro cartoon damsels, and a touch of
Ben Frost with
it's layering of a variety of media and imagery, advertising messages,
porn and whatever... That's the thing with pop art I guess. The whole
movement is based around reappropriation, repurposing, rehashing and
reusing but somehow in and amongst all this lack of original material,
artists are able to carve out an original and defined style of their
own.
