Babydoll
Works in Jan’s Heroes series celebrate virtues of icons from popular culture, and his female heroes trace representations of women in popular culture relative to their positions of power.
‘Babydoll’ presents a production still from the 2011 fantasy thriller Sucker Punch, where Australian actress Emily Browning plays a beautiful-and-deadly heroine who is at once 'girly' and feminine, and capable of deadly force.
For Jan, “Babydoll” represents “the next generation of female empowerment,” or ‘girl power’ – where young ladies can be both feminine and capable of deadly force if a situation calls for it.
