Chloe Iossi

Using intergenerational pop and contemporary culture, my work combines improbable but believable experiences. Blending elements of realism and surrealism in a system of painted collage, I construct atypical but convincing environments that include advertisement and fashion. I incorporate beauty from all eras, often intermingling mid-20th century “Americana” advertisements with contemporary aesthetics. I use subtle humor throughout my paintings and allow it to blend into my artistic influences in order to subvert or enhance the original messaging. I am challenged by the unbelievable and unthinkable and approach painting in a way that makes it feel routine.
