Benjamin Spark’s visual language freely samples from art history and popular
culture, redeploying canonized styles and genres alongside graphics borrowed from
youth subcultures and the commercial mainstream.

Spark’s complex pictorial worlds include quotations from artists like Lichtenstein, Warhol, and Basquiat, as well as song lyrics, brand logos, video games, cartoons, and magazine covers. He subverts the locked-in comic book universe, juxtaposing Disney stars, superheroes or the denizens of Franco-Belgian comic strips, then leaves them dirtied and defaced with a spray-paint graffiti attack. "I take these icons and ridicule them, to illustrate a sort of disorder in their world"
