George Hajian

George Hajian research focuses on the genealogy of the athletic male body, while his practice blends analog collage, screen-printing, sewing, mark-making, and pixel based media to smear or bare the figure, the form, and the pattern, in order to unmasc the imitation. These collage works assemble from disassembled language of found re interpreted to be interpretated.

'I go through a lot of visual/representational/printed matter. I tear, cut, fold, rip, and glue together printed images of the masculine performance. What usually stays behind is a jumble of non-representational refuse: mainly titles and text, backgrounds, and graphic devices used in the layout of a printed page. These usually end up in the recycle bin.'
