William Acosta’s paintings are layered with detailed architectural elements, alluring iconography and the human form. Referencing glamorous photographs from advertising and instagram, the artist’s intent is to convey the expectations built in our modern landscape of social media. He reminds us how imbedded imagery informs our subconscious. Acosta’s larger than life beautiful women superimposed over cityscapes are as thrilling as the myth itself.
