Description
Drawing from the lessons of the Avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century, Jesse Draxler has specifically created one of his renowned collages for 'la Lettura': here, we observe the body of a female figure where, through a play of mirrors, the detailed features of a woman’s face emerge. Yet, the whole composition, crafted from images drawn from the media and advertising sectors, is bound by symbolic chains, subtly emphasizing a critique of consumerist culture. Notably, Jesse Draxler, born in Freedom, Wisconsin on January 4, 1982, has always worked with the concepts of perception, urging viewers to attain a new awareness of the power of images and, most importantly, to contemplate the essence of reality beyond mere appearances. Jesse Draxler is a versatile artist: acclaimed for his pioneering use of certain technologies in the production of his works (our cover will also be available from Tuesday with a digital certificate of authenticity), he is also known for his collaborations across the realms of music, fashion, and design. In a dystopian narrative rendered strictly in black and white, Jesse Draxler explores the unconscious associations that govern our understanding of reality, and consequently, of life.
