Jonas Leriche – Minnie is Dead (Framed)
Jonas Leriche – Minnie is Dead (Framed) is a Special Edition. Each artwork edition is personally signed and is assigned a unique number by Jonas Leriche.
“The artworks ‘Minie is Dead’ and ‘Mickey is Dead’ are the collaborative creation of Jonas Leriche and Salome Art Venture. These pieces begin with a fine art print of exceptional longevity, enhanced through the meticulous application of screen printing techniques. Layers of transparencies and special effects are expertly overlaid, resulting in a captivating visual narrative that dynamically unfolds before the viewer’s eyes.
Central to the imagery is the symbolism of life (represented by the fluttering butterflies in the background) and death (embodied by the skulls), a recurring theme in art history. Through these works, Jonas endeavors to make a powerful statement against the appropriation of Disney characters in art. By challenging the conventional use of these iconic figures, the artists invite viewers to reconsider their cultural significance and engage in critical dialogue.”
