HausOfRex Looking Playing Loving Framed Signed Art “You Dropped A Bomb On Me” By Mimi Yoon 15/50

Born and raised in L.A., artist Mimi Yoon’s paintings dredge familiar fragments from art and pop culture and jolts them into shiny, sexy, airbrushed hommages with all the historical depth of a sneaker ad. Literal Nike Air hightops appear, in fact, with some frequency in the work, as do Louis Vuitton logos, Murakami flowers, and other emblems of the modish abyss that is 21st Century visual culture. If there’s anyone out there who still retained hope in the radical potential of montage and appropriation, Yoon is your reality check.
