By Marian Williams - Marilyn
The Bill Board series is a portrait series of Marilyn Monroe; a collection of large canvases. This original series was created for the group exhibition 'Retro Fantastic' in 2019 at the Dutch Design Hotel Artemis, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
A fragment of Bert Stern's photo of Marilyn Monroe from the 'Last Sitting' forms the basis of this series. The same composition is used in all portraits, but each artwork is original and unique due to variations in color and finish.
Inspired by Andy Warhol’s portrait series, each work is based on one and the same image. Unlike screen prints, the Bill Board series is produced using transfer techniques.
The images are mirrored, enlarged and printed, then transferred onto canvas and finished with oil paint and pastel chalk. The rugged lines and torn edges are reminiscent of a weathered vintage billboard, while the overall appearance is calm and soft.
Available in various sizes upon request:
80x80x4 cm for €950 100x100x4 cm for €1,950 120x120x4 cm for €2,950 160x160x4 cm for €3,950
Signed and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
