Brave New Worlds Edition purchased by Chalk and Vermilionn2024 5 digital mono-prints, each in a different colour way, printed on archival canvas with a diamond dusted ring of Saturn.
In this print 'Brave New Worlds' I have selected sections from popular landscape paintings to represent schematically the eight planets of our local solar system. The artists are Georgia O'Keeffe (Mercury), Vincent Van Gogh (Venus), Claude Monet (Earth), Andre Derain (Mars) Paul Cezanne (Jupiter), Edvard Munch (Saturn), Jan Toorop (Uranus) and Casper David Friedrich (Neptune), all circling Van Gogh's painting of the Sun. I have juxtaposed these images with a selection of similar period landscapes to represent some of the 286 moons and Dwarf Planets that constitute with the asteroids, the bulk of this system. The background image is from a NASA photograph of the solar system. Each edition print is produced digitally in a different colour way on an archive quality stretched canvas. The text refers to an A-to-Z selection of the names of some of the moons and Dwarf planets; interestingly Mercury and Venus have no natural moons.The print is finished with a glossy glaze and rings of Saturn are diamond dusted, |
