"I call my work of Landfills, ‘Slumscapes’ and Post-Apocalyptic scenes as ‘Too-Realism’, as in too real; stuff that people don’t want to think about, although it is ever-present in one’s psyche or in one’s periphery while in a taxi from the airport to the hotel in a developing country.” – Jeff Gillette

'Mickey Billboard Plastic Landfill' by Jeff Gillette, 2019

Arty-Fact: “Mickey Billboard Plastic Landfill” is from a theme of Billboard Landfill paintings. This one featuring an ecstatic Mickey Mouse on a deteriorating sign over an endless landscape of refuse and debris. What sets this painting apart from the other paintings in this series is the tactile nature of the application of the paint, very thickly applied creating realistic rolling waves of plastic, with added shading for enhancement of dimensional visual affect.
