AFTER MORONI

Mimetic Desire – After Moroni, a triptych, plays with the tropes of copy and plagiarism in art and, more broadly, contemporary popular culture. The work consists of copies whose colors are slightly enhanced, altered, or lightened, made after Renaissance works by Giovanni Battista Moroni, one of the most virtuous portraitists in 1500 Italy. The aim of the series is to raise questions on authenticity, forgery, and fetishisation of contemporary fashion brands, as well as to question what a copy in art really is, and what originallity and uniqueness mean to us today.
