Description |
Edition 11/18 Brian David Elliott (1938) was a British printmaker and painter. He worked closely with both screenprint and the wood block printing process, creating a wide range of artwork from abstract pieces to stylistic works. Elliott focused on capturing the essence of the "swinging 60s" and caricature style within his work through his more child-like applications and simplistic forms. His work is often satirical in nature. This screenprint is of a geometric figure on a dark background. The figure is rectangular in shape with human features. Two pointed ears, two round eyes, and one long nose above a thin mouth and curly chin take up the majority of the figure's person. Short, stubby stick legs are underneath the figure's body while a large hand is waving on the left side of the print. Carvings around the figure are shown in a repeated pattern. The pattern is similar to that of a flower and continues around the figure's form. Lastly, pink colorant can be seen throughout the piece, outlining the figure's key features as well as providing emphasize to the background. |
