Paintings should be fun for me, if not it’s not worthwhile.

Americana runs free in a limited edition print by Magdalena Suarez Frimkess.
At 95 years old, Magdalena continues to combine characters, symbols and objects with little concern for what they might mean. In Homage for Jasper Johns, two icons meet as Minnie Mouse dances across the Star-Spangled Banner. The artwork’s title nods to Jasper Johns and his painted renditions of the American flag, which Magdalena encountered after moving from Venezuela to America.
Printmakers at Make-Ready in London carefully transformed the original artwork, a handmade ceramic tile, into a limited edition print. Two layers of silkscreen varnish recreate its lustrous surface, while a subtle printed shadow creates the illusion of a three-dimensional object.
