Marcus Jansen - Afro Painter, Signed (Edition of 45, 2023)

$0.00

Dimensions:  27.6in x 21.3in

UV pigment print on 310gsm Somerset Tub Sized Satin White paper with silkscreen matte varnish seal.  

Edition of 45

Signed, dated and numbered on front.

Mint condition.  Original COA included from publisher. 

Based on an original work from Jansen’s anonymous Faceless series (2012), the edition challenges idealised stereotypes in painting and traditional portraiture. The portrait, influenced by his younger self, encapsulates the painter's inner battle. The subject is broken down into abstract parts which call for rebuilding, reflective of the artist’s personal journey as an artist in solitude with PTSD. Strong parallels can be drawn between the edition and works by German interwar artists such as Otto Dix and George Grosz; creating works as radical in their sociopolitical commentary as they are in style.
