The Art of Tennessee Loveless: The Mickey Mouse TEN x TEN x TEN Contemporary Pop Art Series
This vibrant monograph documents Tennessee Loveless’s groundbreaking TEN x TEN x TEN project, where the contemporary pop artist reimagined Mickey Mouse through 1,000 unique small-scale paintings. Each 10″ x 10″ work—created over a decade—explores themes of queer identity, Americana, and art history, blending Disney iconography with bold patterns, textural experimentation, and autobiographical elements. The book showcases a curated selection of these pieces alongside Loveless’s commentary on his creative process, childhood influences (from Sunday comics to AIDS activism), and the subversive power of reclaiming corporate symbols.
