About the Item
'Superman: It's a Bird, It's a Plane' by DJ Leon, 2014. Lenticular print, 24 x 36 inches. Ed. of 5. This work incorporates, appropriates, and combines images and text found in the Superman comics. The work moves and shifts as the viewer changes position. Leon uses a printing process that transforms his photography and collages into 3D and lenticular prints. Lenticular images move as the spectator shifts his position, creating an illusion of movement. 'Superman: It's a Bird, It's a Plane' reveals various images as the viewer moves side to side.

DJ Leon uses a combination of collage, photography, and text to make complex compositions on diverse subjects, from Superheroes, to pop culture, to art history. Each thematic work is an assemblage of crudely cut, found images sourced from Internet browsing, with photographs, proprietary images, and both related and free-associative text.
Born in 1948, DJ Leon graduated from Boston University and spent 38 years on Wall Street before devoting his time exclusively to the photo-based practice in 2009. Although not formally trained, Leon is a longtime avid photography enthusiast and art collector. Over the past decade, his artistic practice developed into multiple forms, from making images with a camera, to combining images into collages, and then altering them into 3D and Lenticular prints. Since 2012, Leon has exhibited his work throughout the United States as well as internationally. Recent exhibitions have included American Embassy, Ankara, Turkey, Madelyn Jordon Fine Art, Scarsdale, NY, Lawrence Cantor Gallery, Los Angeles, Scope Art Fair, Miami, and New York. His work is included in the Superman Museum, in Metropolis, Illinois, as well as in private and corporate collections across the United States. Leon’s beach and lifestyle photography, a separate and distinct body of work, has also gained significant recognition and has been exhibited nationally including at Surf Lodge, Montauk, and Market Art Fair, Bridgehampton.

- Juicy visionLocated in Milano, ITJUICY VISION 2019 From “Sexy pop fruits” project CM 120X90 Print run 2/7+2PA Digital Photography Fine Art Print on Canson Infinity Platine Photo Rag , Epson UltraChrome K3 ink, plexiglass on alluminium dbond 3mm Each limited edition original photograph is printed in Italy under artist supervision in strictly limited edition (7 + 2PA), signed and certificated by the artist More sizes within the edition 7 + 2PA: CM 80x60 (plexiglass on alluminium dbond 3mm) CM 40X30 (unframed, in design folder) Sexy Golden Fruit celebrates the classic symbolism linked to food in a gold version and transforms the art of good food into pop art. The images of the Sexy Golden Fruit project are inspired by classic art with pop-style interpretations of fresh fruit and vegetables painted in gold. The classic iconography of the “natura morta” has always been a stratagem to deal with the sexual and sentimental sphere: in fact, since the Middle Ages, we have numerous examples in history of the erotic life through the use of food which, today as then, is an element of everyday life. Catullus also wrote innumerable poems on food as a metaphor for the sexual sphere. A perfect cultural liaison: elements of the artistic and culinary tradition, intrinsic to a latent and profoundly pulsating feeling in living within each one of us "."Sexy Golden Fruit Series", where "the iconographic references are a mere starting point for a desecration practised paradoxically by painting the fruits in gold, with an overbearing allusion to the sexual metaphor that belongs since antiquity to the painting genre. Once again, if photography often wearily insists on a pleonastic exercise of hyper-realism that is inherent to the medium, it applies a sort of hyper-anti-naturalism. These fruits are above all thought-provoking, bold icons”. “Monica Silva...Category
