A Surreal Encounter with Starro
In The Great Starro, René Magritte’s The Great War is reimagined with a miniature Starro taking the place of the familiar apple. The small, unexpected figure turns Magritte’s calm portrait into a playful cosmic encounter, inviting the viewer to look again at an image that seems familiar at first glance.
Part of Crossover: When Pop Culture Meets the Old Masters, the painting explores pop culture as a living mythology. A figure born from comics enters the language of modern painting, showing how contemporary icons can carry the same mystery, symbolism and imaginative power once found in the myths and allegories of earlier art.
