Jordan Wolfson takes center stage at Gagosian’s exhibition in Basel, showcasing his recent works on paper. In “Drawings,” Jordan Wolfson disrupts and recontextualizes symbols of optimism and love by juxtaposing painted-over photographs of JFK Jr. with striking red rose decals and provocative slogans. Through defacement, Jordan Wolfson he transforms the late presidential scion into an outsider figure, presenting self-portraits as “Little J.” While “Drawings” marks a relatively modest debut at Gagosian, Jordan Wolfson’s confrontational style spans various mediums and explores unsettling social and psychological themes. The exhibition precedes upcoming shows in Australia and Los Angeles, with new works displayed at Art Basel 2023.
