Lady Aiko

Posted under miscellaneous media.

Somewhere in between pop-art and graffiti, Roy Lichtenstein and Henry Darger, lies the conflicted work of Lady Aiko. Expressing angst at instruments of war, contrasted with a multi-layered mash-ups of cute bunnies and stencils of semi-topless (liberated) go-go girls, her paintings and stencil work convey some of the insecurities, stresses and gritty realities of life in the urban condition.
