Recycled Hessian

Signed on the front.

Frame not included

Feature to this unique diptych (separate dual panels) painting are two historic luffing cranes from the maritime precinct of Port Adelaide, South Australia. The steel leviathans are painted directly on a recycled flour sack which connects directly to the history of these two structures and the once bustling port that thrived on trade and commerce. While much of that heritage has been lost the cranes remain a symbol of the past in a soon to be redeveloped tourist area.

The Golden Age is a genuine, one of a kind, never to be replicated original artwork painted on an authentic hessian flour sack. The recycled hessian has been carefully deconstructed and meticulously pieced back together before remounting on two stretched canvas frames and sealed with a polymer. Incorporated into the retro style artwork are elements from the original labelling giving the new image an historical resonance.

Stock room selection. Polymer sealed front and sides. Each panel is fixed with a wire on back with additional D-ring hooks 10cm down from top. Every effort has been made to colour match the digital files to original, however, please note artwork colours may vary on your device screen. Please note the combined canvas weight is close to 8 kgs
