Dorfner’s works act as a crystallisation of the present. We live in a society that balances between the fine line of progress and tradition; his work brings together the past and the present in an exciting, and often humorous, way (it is hard not to find a Mickey Mouse tattoo on Andromache’s cheek amusing). There is a quiet rebellion in his works that manifests itself as an obvious product of time. Dorfner chooses to corrupt established forms through graffiti and photo manipulation, this idea is impossible to disassociate from the images created by the Instagram generation. With the emergence of social media, satire has transformed from written form to images; a meme has as much importance today as Borowitz’s review when criticising current events. Dorfner’s art focuses on the spectrum of social satire, moving through polar opposites with each new work.
