Contemporary artist Zoe Moss works at the intersection of fine art and photography, to produce a powerful photorealist aesthetic. Her prints focus on the iconic from superhero to celebrity with a humorous twist creating mini narratives and adding off kilter elements, Moss’s work explores the modern day obsession with the cult of the icon in striking form. ‘I Just Wanna Be Loved By You’ depicts the illustrious Marilyn Monroe, posing in skimpy underwear and platform heels. In a satirical twist of contemporary culture, Moss has Monroe pointing at the familiar little Instagram ‘like’ sign a reminder that this is how we ‘like’ in the twenty first century. Set against Moss’s signature soft pink background, the image is both comic and iconic, with its bold visual appeal and smart conceptual prowess.
