2025: Best Horror Film
Artist: Angelo Giovanny
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Description:
“2025: Best Horror Film” is both a reflection and a warning — a mirror of the world we live in. Created in October 2025, this piece captures the turbulence, fear, and transformation that have defined the year. It stands as a visual diary of a time when truth feels stranger than fiction and when the real horror isn’t confined to a movie screen but unfolds all around us.
Through layers of graffiti, symbolism, and dripping paint, Giovanny transforms the American flag into a stage where chaos, media, and emotion collide. The red streaks represent both blood and illusion — the cost of progress and the spectacle of modern life. The ornate gold frame contrasts the rawness within, highlighting the irony of how society often glorifies its own suffering.
As the artist explains, “No one really has to look far for horror — it’s already here. But it’s all interpretation. What one sees as horror, another may see as heaven.”
The work challenges viewers to confront that duality — to question whether what we call horror is destruction or simply the painful process of awakening.
