Another Level

Mixed Media on canvas, stretched on a pine frame and ready to hang.

This piece is overloaded with colour and imagery. It was created using screen printing, painting & collage. The canvas has been directly screen printed in black then painted. After that collage elements were added including the central female face. Many of the collage elements are taken from some of my multi layered screen print experiment test prints created over the years. Resulting in a heavily layered one of a kind piece.

The piece is on stretched canvas frame. It has a wire at the back & is ready to hang. 2 coats of gloss varnish have also been applied to protect the artwork & the gloss finish really brings out all the intricate details in the work.

It is ready for your wall or you may wish to frame the piece directly after purchase through the many Bluethumb options. Any questions? Please ask. Thanks for checking it out. Cheers Darren
