Toronto artist Kendra Sartorelli’s works are inspired by popular culture, the glow of television and computer screens, neon signs, billboards and magazines of today’s mass media. (Above: Monster No.3, acrylic on canvas)
I enjoy the irony of finding references to low culture in a fine art environment. My current work is a series of acrylic paintings. The imagery in my work is original, yet contains features of various monsters found in many B-movies and horror films. I also use the recognizable forms of speech and thought bubbles, which are often found in comic books and mass media advertisements. –Artist Statement (Above: Gary, you don’t want to hurt anybody!)

Very interesting comments! Oh, yeah – and cool art! A lot of these – okay, all of them – go with the colors in my house, which draws me to them personally, LOL 🙂 Fun stuff.
Man, then I think I’d really like your house. Great colors, agreed.
Before I read the first comment I was going to say the same thing! My daughter has the babies tattooed on her back. She actually contacted Keith’s mom for permission!
That’s a great bit of info about your daughter. She must love it!
Of course you are! Me, I know I make them all, so it really doesn’t matter which one is No. 1.
Colorful and amusing! Of course I’m dying to know what the #1Fashion mistake is?
Reminds me of Keith Haring…a bit. Like her eye for design. Thank you!
I hadn’t made that connection. Keith Haring for sure. Thanks for that.
