About this work

This painting shows a row of identical blue figures standing side by side. They all face the same way, with their arms crossed. The background is a solid, lighter blue, and the whole image looks slightly faded, like an old print. The artist used a blueprint process and added a chemical spray to give it that worn, almost ghostly look. The figures are simple and repeated, making the piece feel both orderly and a little strange. Check out Marilyn Minter to see how she plays with everyday images in unexpected ways.
