A Familiar Scream in Everyday Life
Fear is not a place to live places Danny Torrance inside the iconic scene from The Shining, his scream becoming a vivid symbol of fear. The familiar image becomes a playful portrait of the slasher characters that have frightened generations.
Part of Pop Icons in Everyday Life, the painting looks at the way pop culture leaves the screen and becomes part of everyday experience. Here, a horror-film image becomes a shared memory, showing how cinema can shape the fears, references and stories that stay with us.
