You won’t find dainty flowers and smiley faces in New York-based artist David Stoupakis‘ work. The self-taught, multimedia artist relies on the spooky and the esoteric. Some works look like some mashup between Steampunk fashion and an Alice in Wonderland inspired shoot. What makes Stoupakis’ work interesting is the reliance of youthful imagery. Many of the young subjects in his work appear to come out of the underside of a Romantic-era William Blake poem. In the oil painting “Little Miss Lilly Pahd”, for instance, features an antique oval frame featuring a chalky skin child with a pastel pink frog on top of his head. “Stage Fright” also follows a similar Steampunk-esque theme: it features a pasty child with birds lining his head, replete with reddish burgundy plumes.
