À propos de l'œuvre

Aung San Suu Kyi,dated 2011,is documented as Signed and numbered exhibition inkjet print on 330 gm Somerset Velvet paper,with uncut edges,measuring 80 × 47 cm. The corresponding main image shows a red portrait print of Aung San Suu Kyi overlaid with repeated black text and the word FREEDOM. The composition is organised through the relationship between the central motif and the surrounding field,with the support remaining visibly relevant to the final appearance. Colour,outline,printed information,spray marks,drips,repeated forms or handwritten interventions are described only where they can be seen in the supplied image. The material description indicates that the work was produced through signed and numbered exhibition inkjet print on 330 gm somerset velvet paper,with uncut edges. This technique helps explain the distinction between mechanically transferred areas and direct manual intervention,where present. The image supplied is sufficient to describe the overall composition,palette and principal motifs,but it should not be treated as confirmation of details that require a close-up or reverse view. The main image alone does not permit a definitive confirmation of signature,date or reverse-side inscriptions. The manifest records the edition information as Ed. / 100. Any information concerning the back,labels,stamps,certificate,exact placement of a signature or the physical condition derives from the written documentation rather than from an assumed visual reading. No additional narrative elements have been introduced beyond the visible image and the manifest.

Avis de l'expert

From a cataloguing perspective,Aung San Suu Kyi is best positioned within contemporary print practice and the circulation of graphic imagery through carefully produced editions. Its assessment should begin with the verified object type: Signed and numbered exhibition inkjet print on 330 gm Somerset Velvet paper,with uncut edges,dated 2011,and a work documented as Ed. / 100. These factors determine how the work should be compared with other examples. An original drawing,hand-finished proof,prototype,unique variant or sculpture should not be evaluated according to the same criteria as a regular numbered edition,even when the imagery is closely related. The work’s relevance lies in the connection between its physical manufacture and the visual codes of urban culture. Where the support carries pre-existing information,where the surface includes aerosol,marker,drips or hand-applied colour,or where a printed image is individually modified,these characteristics contribute to its specificity. Edition size,numbering,signature and dating are therefore material catalogue points rather than promotional attributes. No certificate is confirmed by the manifest unless separately supplied. No separate provenance statement is included in the manifest. Condition should be assessed directly,with particular attention to paper edges,folds,abrasions,mounting,surface cracking,frame contact and any difference between the written dimensions and the object itself. No conclusion regarding price,auction performance,rarity or future value is made from the available documentation.

À propos de l'artiste

Mike Edwards est un artiste reconnu, célèbre pour ses portraits composés de texte. Sa pratique artistique a évolué pour intégrer divers styles allant au-delà de son esthétique typographique, notamment le néon peint, l’expressionnisme abstrait et la peinture de paysage traditionnelle. Les œuvres d’Edwards ont fait l’objet de nombreuses expositions, notamment des expositions personnelles, et font partie de collections du monde entier, telles que celles de Sir Bradley Wiggins, d’Imelda May et du défunt éditeur Felix Dennis. Un portrait typographique d’Aladdin Sane, signé par David Bowie, a permis de récolter des fonds pour une œuvre caritative lors d’une vente aux enchères. Son portrait de Lord Attenborough est exposé en permanence à l’Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts, à l’université du Sussex. Au début de sa carrière, Edwards a notamment participé à des projets tels que la conception d’un décor de scène pour le groupe de rock Blur et la création d’œuvres d’art sur commande pour des marques telles que Bacardi, Budweiser et Urban Outfitters. Il a commencé à développer son style unique de portraits textuels en remplaçant des pixels, à la manière du pointillisme, par des lettres afin de raconter une histoire. Son œuvre explore souvent les thèmes de l’espace, de la lumière et de l’énergie, en utilisant à la fois des matériaux traditionnels et contemporains, notamment des pigments fluorescents. Edwards possède un atelier dans le centre de Brighton, où il continue à créer de nouvelles peintures.
