In International Flash, Jeffrey Stapleton fuses the digital age with the traditions of classic art-making to create a compelling visual narrative that speaks directly to the pulse of contemporary life. Using a vibrant mix of mosaic-glue, oil, silver leaf, paper, and wood panel, Stapleton crafts a bold commentary on our world of constant connectivity and overwhelming visual stimuli.

The result is a 36×36 masterpiece that distills the chaos of modernity into a work of intricate beauty and poignant irony. With International Flash, Stapleton gives us not just an artwork, but a mirror of the 21st century, where cultural icons and consumerism collide in an explosion of color and texture. His meticulous mosaic style, using hundreds of carefully placed images, reflects both the frenetic pace of today's digital world and the timelessness of traditional craftsmanship.

Close-Up

This dynamic fusion of materials and techniques allows Stapleton to explore themes of identity, society, and resistance in an increasingly hyper-connected world. In an age where everything feels like it's constantly in motion, International Flash offers a moment of pause, inviting us to reflect on the tension between the speed of digital life and the need for personal boundaries. The silver leaf glimmers like the fleeting nature of trends, while the paper and glue root us in something more substantial—an enduring sense of self amid the flux.

 Stapleton’s work is not just about what we see, but how we see it. Drawing inspiration from the post-war era’s pop art movement, International Flash reflects a time when new technologies and cultural shifts reshaped society. Yet Stapleton’s work asks: are we any more in control now, or have we simply replaced one set of conventions with another? With his unique blend of contemporary pop aesthetics and layered, intricate design, he invites us to confront our own role in this rapid-paced, hyper-visual world.

At its core, International Flash is an invitation: to reflect, to engage, and to find meaning within the visual noise of our world.
