Le Yack - So What - Hand-signed

Motel room in the middle of the afternoon. Seated on the armrest of a bottle-green armchair, a brown-haired woman with a poufy hairstyle and a sleeveless white dress places the needle on a microgroove, Miles Davis’ album in hand, a stack of records at her feet. On the wall, a framed pop panel — tearful blonde face and a bubble of despair — comments on the scene like an ancient chorus. Through the bay window: the vertical sign 'MOTEL / VACANCY', a white fins-ed convertible, a clear blue sky. Semiotically, the painting superimposes three systems of signs that say the same thing in different ways: the pop image that screams, the music that murmurs, the woman who remains silent. The diamond of light projected on the wall splits the gloom into two temporalities. Smooth and illustrative facture, a palette of khaki, chalky white, and deep green, punctuated by the red of the sign.
