About the Item
This whimsical and surreal etching by Mexican artist Maximino Javier, dated 1984, embodies his unique visual language that blends fantasy, folklore, and satire. Executed with intricate line work and rich textures, the image depicts a crowned figure—perhaps a jester-king or a trickster ruler—riding a fantastical hybrid creature with wheels for feet. The rider brandishes a feathered scepter and wears a striped outfit, suggesting theatricality or carnival.
The horse-like animal, with a second animal head peering over its shoulder, adds to the absurdity and layered symbolism. Above, a stylized sun-moon face looks on, enhancing the dreamlike atmosphere. Javier’s use of anthropomorphic animals and hybrid forms is characteristic of his work, drawing on indigenous mythology and Mexican visual traditions while infusing them with irony and playfulness.
This print, numbered 24 out of an edition of 35, exemplifies Javier’s mastery of the etching medium and his ability to evoke narrative and ambiguity in a single frame. The fine cross-hatching, detailed textures, and surreal characters reveal a world where power, performance, and the fantastic intertwine.
