Corrupted - Framed

This chaotic piece is inspired by street art and features pieces taken from screen printed test prints I've released in the past. Each eye piece for example, is from a different multi coloured hand pulled screen print.

The background contains a black screen print printed directly onto the board plus paint both brushed and sprayed as well as silver foil. The silver foil picks up the light beautifully on different angles. Difficult to photograph but more visible on the side shots.

Paper collage elements have also been added, sourced from recycled magazines, books, maps and prints to create this one of a kind original piece.

This artwork comes with an external white wooden frame. Painted in a gloss white. 2 coats of gloss varnish have also been applied to protect the artwork. The gloss finish really makes the colours pop and gives the work a glassy finish. This piece has a wire at the back, and is ready for your walls.

Thanks for checking it out. Cheers Darren

Working primarily with recycled and repurposed materials - including discarded magazines, junk mail, maps, paper bags, and vintage books—King transforms the everyday into vibrant, layered compositions. His art captures the beauty of the ordinary and evokes a playful nostalgia, celebrating the local, the joyous, the tasty or the long-forgotten.
