Muniz, Vik | Jetliner, 2018 — available on Composition Gallery

Diasec-mounted Giclee print on aluminium panel - Signed on the reverse, not numbered

Vik Muniz’s Jetliner (2018) is a captivating giclée print that transforms an everyday image of a commercial airplane into an intricate collage of visual fragments. Mounted on an aluminum panel, the artwork depicts a Somali Airlines jetliner, constructed from layered images, textures, and colors that mimic the airplane’s surface and surroundings. The fragmented composition, typical of Muniz’s style, plays with the boundaries of realism and abstraction, inviting viewers to examine the intricate details up close. This piece reflects Muniz's ongoing exploration of perception and the ways in which images are constructed, offering a fresh and visually complex take on travel and global interconnectedness.

Vik Muniz (Brazil, 1961) is a celebrated contemporary artist known for his innovative use of unconventional materials like chocolate, garbage, and thread. He recreates iconic images with these mediums, blurring the line between high art and everyday objects. Muniz’s works explore perception, memory, and the relationship between art and reality.

The great challenge is how to make smart, intelligent art that can speak to everybody.
- Vik Muniz

Vik Muniz is a photographer and artist from Brazil. He was originally a sculptor, but grew increasingly interested in the artistic photographs that were being taken of his work. Vik Muniz now focuses his artistic talents completely on photography, and uses a number of unconventional items such as diamonds, garbage and chocolate syrup to create images that depict certain events in history and pop culture. Vik Muniz got his start in art in a rather unique way. He was working in advertising as a teenager, and on his way back from a formal gala, he tried to break up a street fight. One of the the men accidentally shot him in the leg, and paid Muniz not to press charges against him. Vik Muniz then moved to New York, where he worked in an art studio his friend lent him and began sculpting. Vik Muniz is very popular with art enthusiasts, and his Rio de Janeiro's MAM was second in attendance only to Picasso's exhibits. Vik Muniz was also part of the documentary Wasteland, where the artwork he'd created in the garbage dumps outside of Rio de Janeiro was featured. The movie was nominated for an Academy Award.

What is Environmental Art?

Environmental art is a collective term that refers to a wide range of artistic practices and works that engage with historical and ecological themes. The term often encompasses ecological concerns, although it is not exclusively defined by them. Environmental art acknowledges and appreciates the early history of the environmental art movement, including works with activist themes and those celebrating the connection between nature and the artist through the use of natural materials.
