Artwork Description

This one is a kind of homage to the cover image of the "Gnomes" book which showed front and back view of the same gnome side by side but it is also a humourous nod to Warhol's "Double Elvis", 1963, and perhaps even the Grady Twins from "The Shining" Stanley Kubrick, 1980.

I decided to keep this one quite minimal (and withstood the temptation to paint the beards white!), limiting the palette to the three blues, which I think gives it a liminal or supernatural quality.

Artist Bio
Photo of the Gnomad .
the Gnomad . 44 artworks | 11 Sold

I am fascinated by discovering how images and paintings are actually made, particularly the traditional craft of oil painting but
I also like experimenting with different ways of making paintings which includes using digital technology and trying out alternative media.

My artwork often blends usually discrete subjects, idioms and genres and I am often drawn to subjects which had a powerful impact on my imagination when I was a kid.

I often employ "found" or rediscovered imagery and try to re-contextualise it. The goal is to make images that are conduits to an experience of resonance for the viewer.
I use professional quality paints, surfaces, mediums and varnishes to ensure the works are permanent and stable.
