collage with etching // The Oracle of Zeus by Joe Tilson, created in 1980, is an intricate collage and etching that combines natural and symbolic elements. The piece features a grid of lush green leaf prints, each subtly varied, arranged neatly across the page. At the top, a photograph of a hand placed on rough stone suggests a connection to nature and ancient rituals. Below, red geometric symbols evoke a mysterious script, perhaps hinting at divine messages or ancient languages associated with Zeus, the Greek god. This work, part of a limited edition of 75, reflects Tilson’s exploration of mythology, nature, and human interaction with the divine. Measuring 80.2 x 57.2 cm, the piece invites viewers to contemplate the symbolic resonance of natural forms and ancient beliefs.

What is Kitsch?
Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
