Enveloped by the familiar sight of other pop culture icons such as Captain America, Mario Kart, Spiderman and Smurfette, the combination of enigmatic characters adds to the symbols that push Mickey and Minnie into the contrasting foreground. In the midst of the cityscape, familiar logos such as Starbucks, Porsche and Rolex are an ode to luxury and cosmopolitan indulgence. Known for his pop art, Auguste's works are filled with hidden symbols beneath its cheery vibrant lens, calling to the viewer to decipher the messages and emotions within.
