Spoke Art unleashes another beast today with Tim Doyle‘s follow up from last year, “Unreal Estate II.” As they put it he will “once again remap our collective consciousness through a whole new series of re-imagined iconic pop-culture locations.” In simple terms, he recreates iconic places of interest from the canon of some of the best fictional tv shows, from Twin Peaks to The Simpsons.
The irony here is double edged seeing as art in itself is inherently a fictionalized form of reality. In this sense “UnReal Estate” is a fictionalized account of fictional places. Double down on that when you throw in Arrested Development, the Bluth home wasn’t a real home either, it was just a model. Bam!
Forget all the babble though cuz it wouldn’t mean anything if the art looked like crap anyway. But it doesn’t. It’s pretty awesome. The opening is tonight at Spoke Art in San Francisco AND the first 100 people there get a special, not-for-sale print. Daaaaaamn.
