Debra Broz Merges Humor and Kitsch in a Nod to Our ‘Unusual World’ — Colossal
SHARE

Classic, mass-produced porcelain knick-knacks tackle new life in Debra Broz’s intricate and uncanny hybrids (beforehand). Collies and St. Bernards with the our bodies of pheasants meet rabbits with curiously lengthy appendages and woodland creatures with human arms.

In her solo exhibition Unusual World at Monitor 16, Broz continues to discover the subversive and absurd by means of the leitmotif of midcentury kitsch. Whether or not merging two small sculptures or creating elaborate amalgamations, the artist finds the humor—and only a tinge of unease—in busyness, cuteness, and perplexity.

“Weight of the World” (2024), blended media on secondhand ceramics, 34 x 18 x 18 inches

Unusual World, which includes dozens of sculptures and glazed platters, revolves round three maximalist assemblages fabricated from a whole bunch of particular person collectible figurines Broz collected through the previous decade. Clusters of cute animals like big-eyed bunnies, geese, and cows emerge from bases as if blossoming with power.

In a press release for the present, Monitor 16 describes the items as “darkly optimistic, synthesizing the confusion of limitless information.” Chaotic and idiosyncratically lovely, Broz’s items faucet into our up to date social actuality, balancing rigidity and overwhelm with moments of levity and readability.

Unusual World continues by means of October 12 in Los Angeles. Discover extra on Broz’s web site and Instagram.
