Cultural Icons Through the Lens of Shintaro Kago
When Kago redraws Einstein, Monroe, or Disney, he’s not parodying — he’s dissecting. Icons Vol. 1 is a slow scalpel through the myth of modernity.
These aren’t pop portraits. They’re ritual killings. Kago distorts, infects, and reanimates what we thought we recognized. The results are somewhere between necromancy and editorial illustration.
And somehow, it still makes sense.
