Monstrous

Emerging from the dark yet whimsical world of children’s literature, Jessika Tarr’s exhibition Monstrous features works that are both narrative and theatrical. Just as German story books combine dark and provocative themes with seemingly innocent illustrations, her works contain a tension between content and style. While overtly signifying fear itself, much of her imagery alludes to the subconscious and collective fantastical, exploring the aesthetics of surrealism and dreams.
