Composed(2022-2023) references a found image of a man in prison, whose body language and stance were of particular interest to Simmons in his investigation of masculinity, specifically contexts in which the appearance of authority or strength is interlinked with survival. Originally graphite on canvas, Simmons later added a layer of beeswax, its matte cloudiness shielding the figure in a layer of obscurity.
本作参考了一张狱中男子的老照片。在艺术家看来,监狱是生存与权威 / 力量密切相连的特殊场域,画中人充满统治性的肢体语言和姿态恰好符合艺术家关于男性气质的思考与探究。起初这只是一张布面炭笔粗绘,但西蒙斯在此之上使用了擦蜡技法,赋予了画面另一层朦胧幽谧的云雾笼罩之感。
