NEW Swoon 'Jenkins & Mortimer' Print., by Sacked... on Nov 25, 2012 18:41:48 GMT 1, Jenkins and Mortimer
$1,000.00
Edition of 45
2012
Paper size: 21" x 27"; Image size: 14" x 16"
Mortimer and Jenkins was first created in 2006 as a large scale hand carved woodblock print. The image is a dark and whimsical depiction of human nature; two skeletons, fashioned in ragtag battle armor pieced together from pots, pans, and other household wreckage, continue to battle, even in death.
The imagery is a direct reference to the James McNeill Ensor painting โSkeletons Fighting Over the Body of a Hanged Manโ. It is currently the only piece by Swoon which is a direct adaptation of an historical work.
The pieceโs title comes from the two re-engineered car motors that powered the seven rafts of the Miss Rockaway Armada down the Mississippi River from 2006- 2007.
Here, Mortimer and Jenkins has been translated into a richly toned steel plate etching and printed on archival Hahnemuhle paper in an edition of 45 printed in New York
