'Gripped'
October 2019
Mixed media composition on 120 x 120 cm canvas.
Collage transfer, acrylic paint, glue, pastels.
Delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
'Gripped' is a transfer collage on canvas.
The original composition is a raw ripped 2-element paper collage.
This collage was mirrored, enlarged and then printed.
The print is transferred to the canvas and finished with pastels and paint.
Images are from vintage magazines; the hands are from a publicity for wrists watches.
The portrait of a lonesome Marilyn is thoughtful and emotional.
The mixture of these two images has a powerful impact.
The transfer image reproduced on a large scale is a unique artwork on its own.
'Gripped' non exclusive copy rights were sold and feature on the Telepathy album and CD cover 'Burn Embrace'.
