“John Doe – The Unnamed” (⟪John Doe – The Unnamed⟫)

About

“John Doe” is the name used in English for an unidentified person. In Kimijak’s paintings, figures appear without names or faces: the eyes and mouth are left blank, so the viewer reads their feelings from posture and distance instead. The artist puts water polo caps on them, comparing the game, where identical heads pass a ball back and forth, to relationships in today’s society.
