“3 Fundamental Values of John Galt” (c. 2021) Print

Exploring the relationship between greed and politics, “3 Fundamental Values of John Galt” examines themes of theology, racism, and materialism. One of Luzak’s most vibrant works, the palette juxtaposes a dark narrative with a euphoric composition. “3 Fundamental Values of John Galt” is the finale to the Material series, tying together all narratives present throughout the collection. The Material series explores the dichotomy of opulence. Both a celebration and criticism of wealth, each piece in Material addresses the perils of unattainable pleasure. Through uniform composition and iconography inspired by the zeitgeist of the late nineteen-eighties, the Material series is “Luzak” distilled.
