Cosmic Junky: Skully Series – Notes, Sketches, and All the Blubber
Cosmic Junky’s latest exhibition at ––– introduces a visionary suite of collage-based portraits and interventions that merge archival imagery with bold, spectral iconography. Skully Series — Notes, Sketches, and All the Blubber presents a monumental exploration of identity, memory, and the uncanny, in which the artist layers vibrant abstract markings, atmospheric trails, and the signature Skully mask onto historic photographs. Through these alchemical transformations, Cosmic Junky reanimates figures who once lived only as footnotes in forgotten pictorial archives, granting them new agency in a world reshaped by color, myth, and mood.
“These pieces are about human presence inside a world that often erases it,” the artist notes. “Skully is the witness — the watcher — the reminder that we’re still here, making meaning from whatever’s around us.”
Skully Series — Notes, Sketches, and All the Blubber marks the artist’s most ambitious body of work to date. The exhibition synthesizes Cosmic Junky’s fascination with vintage street photography and the charged visual language of contemporary digital mark-making. Each image becomes a hybrid realm: part documentary, part dream-world.
On page 2, a lone Skully figure stands beneath a hovering organic form, draped in red-striped atmospheric ribbons. The historical architecture behind him strains under the weight of a surreal presence, suggesting a collision between the industrial past and an imagined cosmic future.
On page 4, towering columns of azure and gold spiral upward through a ruin-like facade, as if memory itself were rising into the air, reclaimed from the wreckage of time.
Cosmic Junky uses color as both a pulse and a proclamation—an insistence that emotional interiority deserves visible space.
