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. ‘Come on Baby Like My Fire’ depicts Doors frontman Jim Morrison mid dance in his iconic get up flowing, wavy hair, loose white shirt, and those leather pants. In a satirical twist of contemporary culture, Moss has added the familiar little Instagram ‘like’ sign a reminder that this is how we ‘like’ in the twenty first century. Set against Moss’s signature soft pink background, the image is both comic and iconic, with its bold visual appeal and smart conceptual prowess.
