Limited editions pander to an unhealthy and despicable mindset. All my work is now untitled and editions, unlimited. Signed on the back in pencil. Probably dated. All these are on A4 office paper. Not acid free. About 80 gsm. Will be the most affordable works at my Heckel’s Horse Jr. exhibition at Highgate Gallery at Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution in March 2024 (Private View on the 8th, details below). At the time of writing, they are £70 each. Contact me if interested. Most, if not all, are hand-painted as well as transfer drawn, effectively making them original oil paintings.
Will the unprimed, acid laced and thin office paper survive the acidic paint? I have oil transfer drawings on such paper from ten years ago that look fine. Albeit, kept out of sunlight. Not sure if they’ll still be fine in a hundred years. Not sure if AI will have invented a cure by then. They’re unprimed by necessity. Primed paper’s too insensitive for this look. A lot of the oil is removed during printing, meaning they dry in days and I guess, subsequently have a longer life expectancy.
One is on the wooden board I was using for one of the colours. More of them to come. Virtually any non-MDF, A3 and larger scrap wood I come across walking round Muswell Hill is coming home with me now. Plenty of wealthy compulsive redecoraters round here. The Ron Throop writing inspired post-creation illustrations have started a thing for wooden boards.
The tracing paper drawings are declared artworks in their own right. Their ugly natural curvature of the sides means wooden board mounting. Probably primed white.
