'Compositions in Yellow and Blue 1'
May 2018
The 'Marilyn, Bill Board Series', is a portrait series of Marilyn Monroe; a collection of large format canvasses.
A fragment of Bert Stern's photo of Marilyn Monroe from the 'Last Sitting' is the base of this series.
The identical composition is used in all portraits, but each work is original and unique with variations in finish and colour.
Inspired by Andy Warhol’s portrait series, each work is based on one and the same image. Unlike screen-print, the Bill Board series is produced with reproduction techniques that make each composition unique and original.
The images are mirrored, enlarged and printed, then transferred onto canvas and finished with oil paint and pastels. Rough lines and torn edges, remind the viewer of a worn vintage bill board, yet the overall impression is tranquil and soft.
Nearly all works in this series have been sold but COMMISSIONS are possible !!!
Formats 120 x 120 cm / 47' x 47' or 100 x 100 cm / 40' x 40'
