  1. artist’s depiction of “mr smith” (the matrix)_ (possibly a recombinant insertion of his own likeness), more broadly in representation of what may be considered a “clone” effect, infecting humanity. A loss of identity amid commercialisation and mass production, moving toward a deterioration of creativity, originality; may also be considered represented of a loss of freedoms of any respect, social, political etc.
    Important to note utilisation of a stencil (medium of mass production) emphasises original conceptual thought.

  2. Thanks Alicia. I think you’ve got it nailed.

    it is definitely a “the matrix-esque” representation of Park Chung Hee, President of South Korea from 1961 – 1979.

  4. OK, I’ll buy it, lanvin.
