Considered as a whole, Davila has produced a uniquely provocative, powerful, and influential body of work, raising to high art the visual landscape of popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cem\u003ecatalogue raisonné\u003c\/em\u003e reproduces all of Davila's work to date—more than 1200 artworks—with volume I covering paintings, installations, and collaborations, and volume II containing works on paper. Together, they demonstrate that Davila's works are not simply reflections of a society awash with images, but a carefully articulated interrogation of the hierarchies applied to cultural material, and by extension, cultures. Davila examines the hidden tensions that lurk in the questionable ethics of contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47745289093356,"sku":"9780522880472","price":795.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780522880472-juan-davila.jpg?v=1781498015"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/juan-davila.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
