More than a Dream #2

More than a Dream is Golden-Age Hollywood cut up and re-pasted with a wet brush. The more than a dream wall art print layers black-and-white starlets — eyes, lips, a half-turned jawline — under torn swipes of cobalt blue and one sharp panel of yellow. It reads like a fragment of a mood board someone refused to tidy. BC Studio composes in the tradition of Richard Prince — appropriation, interruption, pop-cultural glamour pulled slightly out of tune. Faces repeat, shift scale, overlap at the mouth. The blue does the heavy lifting; it covers what it needs to cover and leaves the rest exposed. A single yellow block keeps the whole thing from slipping into nostalgia. This piece lives in a hallway that needs energy, a walk-in closet, a guest bathroom that secretly wants to be a gallery. It suits collectors of old magazines and loud records. The room tilts towards it the moment it goes up.
