Meaning & Analysis
Designed in the colours of the American flag, Vote (2018) is a signed silkscreen print by Jonas Wood displaying the artist’s long-standing interest in the sports world and the unique typography of basketball cards. Impelling the viewer to commit to their civic duty, the verb "VOTE" appears five times in the print, its letters rendered in white, blue, and red against a plain grey background. A vertical line of basketballs cuts through the image, substituting the letter ‘o’ in each word.
Wood created Vote to support a New York political action committee that raises money for Democratic and Progressive candidates. Released right before the midterm elections in the US Congress, Vote reflects close observation of his immediate environment and the desire for his art to reflect characteristics of the reality surrounding him. Wood commented in the context of the subject matter of his artworks: "You could call [my work] a visual diary or even a personal history. I’m not going to paint something that doesn’t have anything to do with me. Of all of the possible things I could paint, the thing that interests me is something that I can get close enough to in order to paint it honestly."
