Dylan Neuwirth
International is a series of five images of a face in a ski mask, looking over his shoulder. Artist Dylan Neuwirth created the portraits from laser-cut Plexiglas with a museum-quality digital print on metallic vinyl applied to the front. The masked figures, symbolizing a terrorist, have a look that is both suspicious and full of suspicion, putting the viewer in an uneasy position between examining and feeling examined. In addition, he has created shirts for men and women bearing the International icon, commodifying the terrorist and further shifting the balance of power between him and his audience. Each shirt is $30 and includes a 1” International button printed on gold metallic paper.
Neuwirth is an artist, designer and performer who lives and works in Seattle and has exhibited at a number of venues both here and across the country.
