Contemporary artist Zoe Moss works at the intersection of fine art and photography, to produce a powerful photorealist aesthetic. Her prints focus on the iconic from superhero to celebrity with a humorous twist creating mini narratives and adding off kilter elements, Moss’s work explores the modern day obsession with the cult of the icon in striking form. ‘Dogfather’ depicts Al Pacino in his most famous role sardonically lounging across an armchair as the ruthless Godfather. In a simple yet comically effective anagrammatical play on the title, Moss inserts a fluffy, white Yorkshire terrier on Pacino’s left arm, undermining his menacing stare. Set against Moss’s signature soft pink background, the image is both comic and iconic, with its bold visual appeal and smart conceptual prowess.
