Homage to Kafka, Orwell and Marcuse, 2003 |
In
his new "Homage to Kafka, Orwell and Marcuse" series, Guillem
Ramos-Poquí draws his inspiration from writers such as the Austrian
novelist Frank Kafka (1983-1924): "The Trial", "The Metamorphosis";
English author George Orwell (1903-1950): "Nineteen Eighty-Four"
(published in 1948); and the German philosopher, Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979):
"One-Dimensional Man" (published in 1964). These recent digital photomontages are subtle in colour and rich in the use of creative conceptual and formal devices, playing with unexpected juxtapositions of perspective and scale, and the artist's masterly use of visual poetic tropes and embedded images. These works have alluring and intriguing qualities, they address issues such as freedom and human emancipation in the midst of the alienating aspects of our contemporary global society and culture, reflected more than forty years ago in the prophetic visions of the aforementioned writers to whom he gives homage.
