13 Horror Movie Killer Giclee Print by Dave Pollot – A Twisted Reimagining of a Classical Icon in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Dave Pollot’s 2022 limited edition giclee print titled 13 Horror Movie Killer is a provocative reworking of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, infused with a dark sense of humor and horror iconography. Measuring 23.5 by 14 inches and printed on fine art paper, this signed and numbered edition of only 55 pieces fuses the sacred with the sinister. Pollot, a New York-based contemporary artist known for inserting pop culture references into classical works, transforms the scene by replacing the apostles with legendary horror villains. The visual tension between the divine center figure and the violent figures surrounding it makes for a disorienting yet captivating reinterpretation that has earned attention in both pop art and street art circles.
From Frankenstein to Freddy: Horror Icons in Satirical Congregation
The composition includes instantly recognizable horror figures such as Frankenstein’s monster, the Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and modern slasher legends like Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Ghostface, and Pinhead. Each character is rendered with care, echoing their cinematic presence while still fitting into the worn, aged aesthetic of da Vinci’s backdrop. Pollot’s hand does not merely parody—it curates, combining the weight of religious artwork with the iconography of film to challenge perceptions of cultural veneration and morality. While the viewer may initially laugh at the absurdity of horror villains sharing a sacred meal, closer inspection reveals a striking contrast between fear and faith, pop culture and permanence.
Fine Art Meets Cultural Subversion in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Pollot is widely respected for blurring the line between high and low art by physically painting over or digitally altering thrifted classical-style artworks with characters from video games, movies, and TV. In this case, the digital giclee method allows for rich detail and a textured finish that replicates the painterly quality of the source material. By choosing a limited print run of 55 on fine art paper, Pollot elevates the piece into the realm of collectible Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The giclee process itself is notable for its ability to capture nuanced color tones and intricate shadows, allowing for every wrinkle, shadow, and blood-streaked detail of these horror legends to be rendered with clarity and depth.
Dave Pollot’s Commentary Through Dark Satire and Familiar Icons
Dave Pollot, born and working in the United States, is a contemporary street pop artist who brings a distinct sense of irony and observation to his pieces. His work consistently reimagines traditional art forms by inserting them into the absurdity of modern entertainment. In 13 Horror Movie Killer, Pollot offers more than a novelty image—he constructs a narrative of cultural worship, asking whether our societal figures of devotion have shifted from sacred icons to entertainment monsters. As a piece of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, it fits perfectly into conversations around iconoclasm, nostalgia, and the strange comfort horror continues to provide in modern media. Each killer is a symbol, and their placement at a table of holy significance invites a sharp critique about consumption, fandom, and collective memory in the twenty-first century.
