Blood & Glitter brings together the work of Jackie Rabbit and Kimberlyn Renee, whose radically different visual languages explore a shared fascination with horror, fantasy, and the macabre. One body of work emerges from darkness: monochromatic, gothic, mysterious, and rooted in the visual traditions of classic horror and fairy tales. The other erupts in color: fluorescent, contemporary, nostalgic, and drawn from the manufactured imagery of modern childhood and pop culture. Though seemingly opposite, both reveal the same human impulse, our attraction to the things that frighten us.
Together, these works show that our relationship with horror has never really changed. We have simply learned to dress our monsters differently.
