About the work
I have nobody to talk to about this.
Sometimes people misinterpret a situation.
They feel upset because they got the wrong idea.
Materials & process
Each collector will receive a unique hand-painted artwork.
No two are the same.
Painted using Black 4.0, the world’s blackest black acrylic developed by Stuart Semple with the help of artists across the world. The creation of Black 4.0 was part of an ongoing campaign against exclusivity in art materials, following Anish Kapoor’s attempt to monopolise Vantablack for his private use.
The work is painted on Watercolour paper, museum grade, archival, and hand-signed.
