Characterized by its use of iconic imagery intertwined with gritty urban landscapes, it stands as a vivid commentary on consumer culture and societal decay.

In this particular piece, the recognizable figure of Minnie Mouse is manipulated in an unconventional graffiti stencil style, emphasizing the essence of street art in its rawest form. The "Period 12" refers to Minnie's untimely Menstruation and the painting number. Gillette infuses this piece with a paradoxical blend of innocence and bleakness. This contrast not only critiques our media-saturated society but also invites viewers to question the impact of corporations on our shared cultural consciousness. With its unfiltered portrayal of the tension between popular culture and reality, the "Minnie Period 12 Hand Stencil Original Canvas" by Jeff Gillette stands as a powerful exemplar of modern pop and street art.

  • Mickey Hiroshima Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Jeff Gillette Mickey Hiroshima Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Mickey Hiroshima Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Rag Paper by Jeff Gillette Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Size 14x9 "I am from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. In the late 1980s, I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal for two years. During this two-year stint, I visited every major city in India, finding myself exploring the huge slums found there. On my return home, I moved from the Mid-West to escape the snow to teach High School Art in Orange County, California. Since finishing my MFA at Cal State Fullerton, I have been exhibiting in galleries both at home and abroad. My work is most often landscapes. A major portion of my output is paintings of slums of the developing world, where I often add an element of western cultural privilege (and oblivion) into settings of urban blight. Inspiration for what I call “Slumscapes” comes from the first-hand experience of traveling. Most often I return over and over to my favorite destination: India. In the vast poverty-stricken fringes of its vast megalopolises, I trip out on how the economic disparities are obscenely extreme. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Mumbai slums: photographing, filming, creating Plein Aire paintings, and creating interactive street art. Besides depicting slums, my artwork portrays post-apocalyptic debris fields, landfills, and detritus-cluttered deserts. The Juxtaposition of Disney themes and beloved characters (i.e.: Mickey Mouse) with all these dystopias best conveys my personal views. Pondering contemporary social, political, economical and philosophical conundrums, I can’t help but feel absurdly helpless, pessimistic and humored about the future of Western Civilization…" - Jeff Gillette

Jeff Gillette

Jeff Gillette is an American contemporary artist, born in 1959, known for his dystopian and satirical artwork. He is particularly famous for his paintings and mixed-media works that combine iconic images of Disneyland with the imagery of slums, creating a jarring contrast between the two. His work often critiques consumer culture, corporate power, and the idealism of the Disney brand. Gillette gained widespread recognition in 2015 when the British street artist Banksy invited him to participate in the Dismaland project, a temporary art installation and amusement park in Weston-super-Mare, England. Dismaland was a dark and satirical take on Disneyland, and Gillette's work fit perfectly with the theme. His participation in the project helped elevate his profile in the contemporary art world. Jeff Gillette's art has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and internationally, and he continues to create work that challenges societal norms and values, often using dark humor and unsettling juxtapositions to provoke thought and discussion.
