Art Malarkey 2 Published by Faine Contemporary Art in 2012
Art Malarkey 1 and 2 were generated by a question asked of my wife by Paul Duke; "Jane what do you think about all this art malarkey?". I thought it a great phrase that summed up the popular view of abstract art. The print is the second in this series that combines elements of the works of some of my favourite artists with an alphabet of their surnames. Each circular image contains sections from two famous pictures by abstract artists such as Albers, Bacon, Chagall etc, while the text comprises two alphabets, one from A to Z and the other from Z to A. The underlying colour of the text is moderated by a large coloured alphabet. Hopefully the effect of the piece is to de-mystify the rarefied air of the upper echelons of the art world and have a bit of fun playing around with the modern masters. Art Malarkey 2 is a signed limited edition comprising 50 digital prints each finished with a silk-screen printed satin protection varnish, and an Ultra Violet glaze on the circular images. Art Malarkey 2 is a first generation original print, which only exists in this form. |
