TOMEH 1988 - " Icons "

“Icons” explores the visual language of contemporary culture — where identity is constructed through symbols, heroes, and collective imagination.

The composition merges portraiture with universally recognizable emblematic forms, creating a layered face shaped by modern mythology. A central blue eye anchors the work, confronting the viewer while surrounded by graphic fragments that reference strength, heroism, femininity, and media-driven identity.

Executed in Indian ink and acrylic on carefully selected vintage book pages, assembled and meticulously adhered into a single surface, the artwork balances bold color fields with expressive black gestures. The contrast between controlled graphic elements and spontaneous brushstrokes reinforces the tension between constructed image and authentic self.
