«Power and the money, money and the power»

Van Gogh, painted in thick, restless strokes, with a one-dollar bill taped over his mouth. It's money wall art with a punchline: the painter who barely sold anything in his lifetime, gagged by the money his work would later bring in. Black bars cut across his face like a censor's marker.

This is a hand-finished pop art lithograph. The image is printed first, then I paint over it by hand in acrylic, which ends up covering 40 to 50 percent of the surface. A textured gel goes on last, white at first and completely clear once dry, so the brushwork catches the light. Most pop art prints are just ink.

Size 60 x 80 cm, stretched on a stretcher and set in a black frame. A serial number and certificate come with it.

As money wall art it reads from across the room and gets sharper up close, which makes it a good fit for an office or a studio wall. Made to order: message me on Instagram or by email.
