Much of MadGods inspiration is derived from the remnants of past culture. These veins of originality are no longer with us in the form of authentic style and rebellion that existed in the formative years of youth culture, music, skateboarding and the independent artist. Most only recognize the patterns left in the wake of original influence.

MadGods has always taken a fondness to the interpretation of our own subcultures by foreign voyeurs, more specifically, the methodical breakdown of western music and skateboarding imagery and styles by Japanese Otaku cool hunters at the turn of the millennium. Using this fondness as a filter of sorts, we touch on realms of thought that we once believed were slowly becoming extinct with a new generation of youth that don’t remember a world before the internet. Using a familiar aesthetic, we perfect the art of dressing sheep in wolf’s clothing.

Thrill Of It All- New Works From Failure
xxx
Taking inspiration from advertising campaigns and
pop culture,
Failure has been displaying his work publicly for the last
10 years.
Working with silkscreen prints, photography, and
installation,
the artist reinterprets our desires and hopes as defined by
the media,
and combines them with a unique blend of tongue in cheek humor
and intense
devotion.
