«THE BIG GAME»

A general in a dark-blue uniform holds a knot of light-blue balloons while toy tanks, planes and explosions crawl over his chest and sleeves. Behind him, gold and a few hand-drawn price charts. It is political pop art about war, markets and the trust we put in a face on a banknote, and about how easily all three can be twisted into a balloon animal.

His portrait is glitched, with strips slipping sideways across the mouth, and a few Mondrian-like colour blocks sit among the charts. This work belongs to my second collection, SCAM.

Each pop art lithograph is hand-finished. I add my own acrylic brushstrokes by hand, so the surface has real brushwork and not just ink. A textured gel goes on white and dries completely clear, which gives the print relief you can see when light moves across it.

The lithograph is 60 x 80 cm. It arrives stretched and framed in black, ready to hang, with its own serial number and a certificate. It suits a desk-facing office wall, a living room or any space that needs one piece of loud political pop art. Every piece is made to order, so message me on Instagram or by email to check timing and delivery to your country.
