Etching with aquatint on Skikoku Surface Gampi paper - Signed, dated and numbered in pencil // Jasper Johns’ Valentine (2010) is an etching and aquatint created on Skikoku Surface Gampi paper, part of a limited edition of 40 prints. The composition features a central vase-like form created by two mirrored silhouettes, with abstract textures and patterns filling the surrounding spaces. The dark, tonal contrasts of the figures and background evoke a sense of depth and reflection, while the intricate detailing on the silhouettes suggests layers of meaning. The mirrored profiles reference Johns' ongoing interest in perception, duality, and the play between positive and negative space. Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil, this work encapsulates Johns' masterful blend of abstraction and figuration.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
