Golf This, safety matches– Limited Edition Print by Simon Vazquez
59x40cm
Giclée on archival paper | Signed and editioned (10 total)
With Take It Easy, Bro, Simon Vazquez delivers a warped portrait of quiet collapse. A man stands motionless, eyes glazed and empty, a golf club piercing through one ear and clean out the other. Behind him, a red rising sun burns against a faded backdrop—part imperial icon, part comic book chaos. His clothing is worn and ambiguous, stiff with time and use. Was he a soldier? A servant? A golf caddy long past his prime? The answer doesn’t matter—he’s stuck in place, trapped in the theatre of someone else’s game.
Executed in a deliberately aged comic style, this limited edition giclée print captures the uneasy marriage of humour and brutality that runs through much of Vazquez’s work. There’s something theatrical in the posture, but the performance has long since ended. What remains is a figure that’s both absurd and haunting—grotesque not in detail, but in implication.
This print is part of a rare series of two-dimensional works that preceded Simon’s sculptural explorations, including his grotesque, toy-like figures now shown with Base Elements Gallery. You can feel the sculptor’s hand at play here: bold outlines, a focus on character over realism, and a layered narrative that reads like a fragment from a larger, stranger world.
Each print is a museum-quality giclée on archival paper, signed and editioned by the artist in a set of just 10. A standout piece for collectors of pop surrealism, dark humour, or contemporary grotesque illustration, Take It Easy, Bro holds its ground with a vacant stare—and lets the madness pass through.
