Indoctrination Of The Minor: Amtrak Joe , 2023
60 x 50 x 1 cm (h x w x d)

This triptych is inspired by Robert Grossmann, whose caricaturist display of controversial figures satirizes their public image. Round brushstrokes achieve a blended effect that becomes rough when zooming in, complementary hues of magenta and amber juxtaposing the polished image of the “American dream” with the reality of impermeable division. Distortion of public roles creates an atmosphere of bitter aversion towards a country once identified with. The neckless, symbolically divine drag queen Ru Paul reclaims power over a diminutive of ex-president Trump, ironised by feminine-presenting nails.
