Brand New Paint Job (Franz Kline Vault)
A digitally rendered sports car is wrapped in the bold, gestural black-and-white brushstrokes characteristic of Abstract Expressionist painter Franz Kline, seamlessly merging high art with consumer culture. Jon Rafman appropriates both the visual language of modernist painting and the gleaming allure of automotive design, raising questions about originality, reproduction, and the commodification of artistic identity. The work exists as an archival pigment print mounted on Dibond, lending a sleek, commercial finish that further underscores the tension between fine art heritage and mass-market aesthetics.
