Mindy Shapero’s work comes from a rich fantasy world or constructed mythology that has a significant basis in the literary. The titles of her works are often paragraphs long and can accompany the work in the form of self-published black and white zines that serve as a descriptive and informative textual component to the artwork.
William Blake and Henry Darger share a commonality with Shapero in the invention and maintenance of complex theistic hierarchies and their supporting myths and histories rooted in their own writing, though with Shapero this carries over into an obsessive understanding of material that has a correspondence to the myth or fantasy world as if a form of alchemy understood only by herself.
Mindy Shapero was Born in 1974 in Louisville, KY. She now lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
