Las Meninas

A bold reimagining of Velázquez's iconic 17th-century masterpiece, this two-part work combines silkscreen and paint on canvas to collapse the boundaries between high art history and contemporary visual culture. The Bruce High Quality Foundation brings their signature irreverent yet intellectually rigorous approach to one of Western painting's most analyzed compositions, layering mechanical reproduction with gestural mark-making. The duality of the medium mirrors the work's interrogation of originality, authorship, and the enduring power of canonical images.
