The Four Continents revisits Gambattista Tiepolo’s fresco series of the same name. Inspired by explorers’ travel accounts and Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia, Tiepolo’s work divides the world into Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, with each region personified by a female archetype. Here, the gender-fluid Miss Chief Eagle Testickle takes on the glamorous guise of the allegorical figures, mounted on improbable beasts to further stretch the absurdity of Tiepolo’s choices. In the vein of the “painted voyage” tradition in Western art history, each continent’s portrayal reexamines the Eurocentric misconceptions that Tiepolo and other creators have projected onto those regions. The Four Continents speaks to the complex effects of colonization and globalization, exploring themes such as displacement, migration, and the exploitation of resources to feed insatiable global consumerism.
