Wilhelm Sasnal
Resort
1999, Oil on Canvas
89 x 89 cm |
Sasnal
presents the usual vacation ideals of sun, booze, and sex
through a voyeuristic binocular view. Under surveillance scrutiny,
the luxury resort emerges as something lonely, corrupt, and
comically sad. Painted with a knowing faux naïveté, Resort
is offered to all as an international logo/pictograph, loaded
with overtures of condescension and imperialism. |
