Book synopsis

Cute & Creepy revels in the genre of the macabre in contemporary art, celebrating dark art and Pop Surrealists. To see the beauty in the carnivalesque or macabre, in freaks and in monsters, is a matter of aesthetics. It is for a daring audience, an audience open to exploring the strange beauty and the ecstasy inherent in our culture's aversions. "The grotesque is not a thing in itself. It's not a genre or trope or an 'ism' that can be qualified by a time period. It is an operation, a process that occurs when one is caught in between a moment of humour and horror, or horror and beauty--held in perfect suspension so that neither overrides the other. We are left in momentary paralysis, unsure of what to think, unable to look away." Nancy Hightower
