Paul Klee Aztec Artefact
A digitally manipulated archival pigment print mounted on Dibond, this work by Jon Rafman merges the aesthetic sensibilities of Paul Klee with the visual language of pre-Columbian Aztec artifacts. Rafman's practice of mining internet culture and digital archives is reflected in the work's layered references, collapsing art historical and anthropological iconography into a single uncanny image. The Dibond mounting lends the print a sleek, contemporary finish that contrasts with the ancient and modernist sources it evokes.
