Aflame! (2012). Winston Smith combines symbols of patriotism, media, and consumer culture into a deceptively simple composition. A flaming Statue of Liberty torch rises above a smiling mid-century figure holding a telephone, while a vintage television broadcasts an idealized face. With just a handful of carefully chosen images, Smith creates a playful yet provocative meditation on communication, influence, and the American dream.
Comes in an upcycled frame with mat and includes a certificate of authenticity.
Appx. 13” × 16” in frame
