About the Item
Fred Tiger (*1976), Chief John Winston Ono Lennon!, 2020. Hand-finished canvas print, 60 cm (height) x 40 cm (width), signed “Fred Tiger” lower right and dated “2020”, on the reverse again signed, dated and with the artist's signature.
- minimal stain in the upper right area, otherwise in very good condition
- Chief of the Pop -
Fred Tiger is referring to Andy Warhol's cover design for John Lennon's album "Menlove Ave" (1986). While Warhol gave perhaps the greatest pop icon of all time different colored hair and an orange skin, thus translating music into color, Fred Tiger illustrates the musician as a chief. While in Warhol's work the black background serves to illuminate John Lennon, in Fred Tiger he emerges from the darkness, his partial coloration fluctuating in a way that intones the music. This mysterious, magical effect is heightened by Lennon's appearance as a chieftain whose feathered headdress extends beyond the picture plane. His mesmerizing gaze seems to be sustained by some forgotten knowledge, underscored by the earthy texture of his face. At the same time, however, his appearance is that of a pop music chieftain, which, in keeping with Pop Art, ironically breaks up the image.
GERMAN VERSION
Fred Tiger (*1976), Chief John Winston Ono Lennon!, 2020. Handfinished Canvasprint, 60 cm (Höhe) x 40 cm (Breite), rechts unten mit „Fred Tiger“ handsigniert und auf „2020“ datiert, rückseitig nochmals handsigniert, datiert und mit dem Signet des Künstlers versehen.
- minimaler Fleck im rechten oberen Bereich, ansonsten in sehr gutem Zustand
- Häuptling des Pop -
Fred Tiger nimmt hier auf Andy Warhol’s Covergestaltung von John Lennons Album „Menlove Ave" (1986) Bezug. Hatte Warhol der vielleicht größten Pop-Ikone überhaupt verschiedenfarbige Haare und ein oranges Inkarnat verliehen und die Musik auf diese Weise in Farbe übersetzt, veranschaulicht Fred Tiger den Musiker als Häuptling. Diente bei Warhol der schwarze Grund dazu, John Lennon aufleuchten zu lassen, formiert er sich bei Fred Tiger aus der Dunkelheit heraus, wobei die partielle Farbigkeit auf eine die Musik intonierende Weise fluktuiert. Diese geheimnisvoll-magische Wirkung wird durch Lennons Erscheinung als Häuptling gesteigert, dessen Federschmuck über die Bildfläche hinausreicht. Sein bannender Blick scheint von einem vergessenen Wissen getragen zu werden, was durch die erdartige Struktur des Gesichts unterstrichen wird. Seine Erscheinung ist aber zugleich der Auftritt als Häuptling der Pop-Musik, wodurch das Bild – der Pop-Art entsprechend – zugleich ironisch gebrochen ist.
