About The Artwork
I wanted to explore what it would be like to conceptually jam an Andy Warhol painting through a VCR. The VCR seems like a perfectly Warholian way of copying and editing snippets of culture. Warhol’s 1973 portrait series of Mao Zedong has been altered in Photoshop using tracking lines and static elements referencing the warping of perception and disconnect between ruler and subject. The image was output and turned into a silkscreen which I use to make variations of the painting with each iteration referencing Warhol’s original colors he used in the series of portraits he made of Mao.

Alexander Key is an emerging contemporary artist from Charlotte, North Carolina. His work appropriates a wide variety of cultural ephemera, extracting familiar aesthetics and re-contextualizing them into new compositions that act as bittersweet commentaries. Mining from the resonance of childhood images and personal nostalgia, he explores the impact of these mental keepsakes on a broader collective memory. Working primarily in the medium of silkscreen printing, his work ranges from monotone prints to densely layered paintings. Please reach out if you are interested in showing his work or want to know more about his artistic practice.
