MUNDANE MONSTERS

“Mundane Monsters” — Illustrating the Ordinary Side of the Uncanny

In this 2017 group show at 701 Gallery, Gabriel Gutierrez presented Mundane Monsters—a series of illustrations that placed classic movie monsters from the mid-1900s into everyday scenarios. From waiting at the DMV to doing the dishes, Gutierrez’s work offered a humorous and relatable twist on the horror icons of pop culture, blending nostalgia with the mundane in a way that was both accessible and refreshingly down-to-earth.
