Monstruary

Julian Rios

Monstruary by Julian Rios is a provocative exploration of art, literature, and the shadowy realms of the human spirit. Follow the eerie existence of artist Victor Mons, as he encounters fiendish figures, otherworldly phantasms, and beautiful models and prostitutes who serve as his muses. Rios assembles all the monsters of the Western world – from classical antiquity to the silver screen – and collapses the boundaries between reality and imagination, leading us into a new domain where the ghoulish and the exquisite collide and combine. This playful and virtuosic language shows us the dark side of the human heart, and the strange places where life and art overlap, each feeding and inspiring the other.
