In this work from his "Noses & Ears, Etc." series, John Baldessari combines acrylic painting with archival digital print to create a characteristically conceptual exploration of fragmented facial features. The composition isolates and emphasizes a blue face, nose, and abstract tangled rope, exemplifying the artist's long standing interest in deconstructing representation and challenging how we perceive and isolate individual elements of the human form. Presented in the artist's frame, the work demonstrates Baldessari's commitment to treating the presentation and context of an artwork as integral to its meaning.
