Timekeeper 45
Norman O’Flynn
1974
-
Giclee print on acrylic glass
This particular work forms part of a series called Timekeepers (2016 - 2019). It incorporates O’Flynn’s distinctive use of pop iconography, religious symbols, explosions, and graffiti-styled tattoos across the body of a masked figure, with an abstracted background of colour and motifs. Here, the mask serves both as a filter to protect the wearer from what they absorb, and as a means of safeguarding their identities. O’Flynn views his Timekeepers as ‘glitches’ that interrupt the flow of surveillance and indoctrination in our society.
