Stunning mixed media original collaged portrait. This piece will be exhibited at the AAF in Battersea autumn 2018. The work is set in a sleek contemporary white box frame with border.Overall dimensions include frame. These new works are deconstructed and vandalised old masters, employing media as human hair, makeup, eyelashes, in order to revive and bring historic characters back to life. Underpinned by her new book Women Can’t Paint, the artist introduces contemporary symbolism that contrasts between the two eras of 2018 and 1750. In particular, in this work, the moth and butterfly symbolises the fleeting nature of life, and of change, and revival. Similar works by the artist have been commissioned for the prestigious and supercool new Bankside Hotel in London, adj. to Tate Modern.
