Buenos Dias Spunky art lover… thank you for looking in on this gorgeous piece... “Romancing” This sexy piece is a mash up of vintage romance illustration.
These industrial styled pieces are generally created from found and recycled materials such as wooden pallets, car parts and industrial items or from canvas frames coated with a special Concrete formula and trowelled to a thickness of approx 10mm (including the edges). The concrete finish styling is “repaired and distressed”. Classic Industrial. I would consider them a close relative to Urban Pop and Bookclubs and they will feature similar subject matter.
The concrete styled pieces weigh a little more than a standard canvas and all up, weigh only 10 to 13kg. But the look on wall, is basically a 45mm thick "Slab". It is permanent and will withstand anything a normal canvas can, within reason. It took 2 years to develop this process and it achieves the ultimate in Industrial/street styling. The recycled pieces can be a bit heavier....they are the real deal often created from Hardwood or car components etc....they can be wall hung or floor displayed. Nothing cooler in a modern lux pad, Man cave or She shed, than some industrial inspired art. They are grungy and raw. They cannot ever be mistaken for a flat print and have LIFE x 1000!
Tools of creative choice are “hand and can”, using acrylics, inks and sugar sprays and often incorporate multi piece detailed stencil work. A lot of process and thought goes into each and every piece.
They are created on a 40mm frame wrapped in the highest quality canvas, with a triple varnish coat and gallery finished edges painted and finished as such. A “canvas” really has 5 faces. If this piece caught your eye but it’s not quite the right size or colours, or you would like something more personal, do reach out and let’s discuss possibilities.
Mumma Bear and spunky wife Wendy is CFO and big cheese. To add to the family vibe, since the world was rocked by covid, both of my offspring (Franksy and Franketta as I call them) have become fulltime understudies, having “helped out Dad” during their school years. Under my watchful eye, they are both now collaborating with me at the highest level.
