Mayors of cute and creepy
Studio 10
“I could have sworn I heard something” by Jared Konopitski, acrylic on canvas, 2016.
Put on a pair of 3-D glasses and meet the mayors of Chromaville, Jared Konopitski and Super Ugly, in their Studio 10 show. Both Sacramento artists have vivid palettes and illustrative, lowbrow narrative styles, which are “filled with the inhabitants of Chromaville.” They call their paintings cute and creepy—and are, apparently, in three dimensions. The 3-D specs will be provided by the mayors for proper viewing of their “world of the weird and wonderful.”
