Simulacra

18x24”

Graphite + charcoal on Arches paper

The simulacrum is true. Abstraction today is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or a substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal

The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth--it is the truth which conceals that there is none.
