The exhibition Illustrated Poetics: The Subversion of the Fantastic in the Pop Imagination by Julia Dalcastagné invites us to explore a multisensory universe, where the fantastic not only permeates everyday life, but also subverts it. In this space, the viewer is faced with a visual narrative that moves between the playful and the disturbing, evoking the popular imagination through a critical and contemporary approach.

The exhibition presents Julia’s artistic career, marked by several phases, each reflecting a distinct exploration of techniques and styles. From illustration and painting to digital art, the artist develops compositions that challenge the boundaries between high art and mass culture. Her technical plurality reflects an understanding of the social and cultural dynamics that shape the consumption of images. The universe of pop, cinema, comics, and games is reinterpreted, transforming icons into vehicles for reflection on universal themes such as identity, belonging, and alienation.
