Homage to Guido - one of a kind Collage

Inspired by personal experience, this collage depicts the plight of many women who are in controlling, manipulative relationships who during lockdown found home a very unsafe place to be. The women's eyes no longer see, their shadows are statues devoid of emotion and the net of Swarovski crystals represents the prison created by the diamond ring on their finger. Homage to Guido pays tribute to the role psychotherapists play in building broken lives. A portion of the sales of this work will be given to a domestic abuse charity. The process to achieve the final pieces is a long journey from the original idea searching through 1950's magazines to find the source material to build a collage of words and images. The collages are then hand painted with wash and paint pens to add colour and detail imitating the original feel of printed magazines. The finished collage is enlarged onto fine art paper. The final but most labour intensive of the process is adding the thousands of crystals, gold and silver leaf, lacquer and metallic paint. The strength of the message is important but with these prints Elizabeth has still created art that is pleasurable to look at with obsessive attention to detail and perfect execution. Elizabeth is a fellow of the Royal Society of Artists and a Royal Academy exhibitor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZsv6dYaBog
