636274358 (..John Wesley Harding” B. Dylan’s vinyl)

2009

A vinyl record sleeve for Bob Dylan's *John Wesley Harding* is rendered with cool, detached precision in acrylic on canvas, its mundane domestic familiarity elevated into the realm of painterly contemplation. Maciejowski treats the album cover as both a cultural artifact and a banal object, flattening its iconic imagery with a matter-of-fact brushwork characteristic of his deadpan aesthetic. The work invites reflection on nostalgia, mass reproduction, and the tension between high art and everyday popular culture.
