Kon Trubkovich — Ronnie
Kon Trubkovich

Ronnie

2012

A fragmented portrait rendered across two panels, *Ronnie* embodies Kon Trubkovich's signature tension between presence and dissolution, as the figure seems to emerge from and recede into layers of blurred, distorted media. The work evokes the aesthetic of degraded video footage or worn magnetic tape, lending the subject an eerie, flickering quality that haunts the boundary between memory and erasure. Trubkovich's mixed media approach on paper amplifies this sense of fragility, as if the image itself is struggling to hold together.
