LAYERED COLLECTION
Joaquin Salim
Description
Por los noventa juxtaposes fragments of consumer language with layered print imagery, weaving together memory and culture references from the 1990s. The bold “Just 99c” text becomes both a nostalgic echo of mass-market advertising and a commentary on the fleeting value we assign to objects and eras.
Joaquin Salim (1987) a Venezuelan multidisciplinary artist, based in New York. Salim has exhibited his work across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, and his practice often transforms overlooked details and forgotten objects into layered, visually engaging compositions. With a background in graphic design and a Master of Fine Arts from SCAD University, he brings a thoughtful and experimental approach to both materials and media, exploring the intersection of art, design, and everyday objects.
