ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Naomi’s Inner Rebel and studies of Female Conformity are referenced in this thought-provoking and iconic piece, originally spray painted and still featuring on Whitecross Street, EC1. This piece is a good example of Naomi’s early work as a Street Artist containing largely autobiographical elements. Naomi constructed an alter ego; ShyGuy (her Street Artist’s tag name) which allowed her the creative space to paint freely without fear or judgement from the outside world. ‘The Reflection’ was inspired by a visit to an Italian chapel where Naomi was captivated by Carlo Sismonda’s painting of Christ. Years later, Naomi became interested in the works of Søren Aabye Kirkegaard (written in 19th C) and his theory of ‘The Age of Reflection’ which culturally resonates with the white noise of news, entertainment and social media of today. The Painting features a stencilled image of Jesus as a reflection in a mirror with his ‘Social Media Disciples’, and, is synonymous with some of Naomi’s other later works, which were made to represent the disconnect that we can feel to our own selves living in the modern world despite being so technologically connected. A real Collector’s piece, the study stands as the Artist’s observation of increased ‘Social Media Connectedness’, constantly comparing ourselves to others and being consumed by our image that we portray to the outside world. The piece portrays the god-like image of social media and stands for the power that it can have over us. This piece is available as an original on wood both as a replica colour of the street version, and also as a black and gold version. The black and gold version is also available as a print. Size and Material: Height: 143cm Width: 113cm Depth: 5cm Stencilled, spray painted piece on canvas with clear resin coating. Finished in a handmade bespoke 24 Karat Gold gilded frame.

Naomi Wallens
United Kingdom
Naomi Wallens, a British contemporary multidisciplinary artist working with painting, sculpture and neon. Self-taught as a street artist, Wallens is becoming well known in the art world for her provocative artwork exploring the subtleties of societal pressures of conformity and the profound impact this has on our ability to feel connected to our own self. Drawing on her own experiences as a woman and mother and the experiences of those that she collaborates with, Wallens’ works are unorthodox products of visual story-telling that fight and challenge societal injustices and champion empowerment and love. Wallens pushes her emotional boundaries to become the subject in many of her painted works and directly makes use of the female form using her own body in many of her sculptures to illustrate the stories she sets to tell. Wallens’ latest work has evolved from containing a strong autobiographical element in examining her own experiences of happiness (and the not so happy ones) to observing human behaviours and emotions within the framework of the society in which we live today, depicting subjects at odds with their often glamorous appearance. Before launching her career as an artist Wallens followed a conventional academic route, eventually bagging herself a business qualification before embarking on a career in the corporate world. Feeling disillusioned and empty with her pre-conditioned life, this fuelled her ever-rebellious inner self to go on a courageous and often painful journey of self-discovery as an artist. Wallens debuted her most recent collection at Startnet, The Saatchi Gallery in October 2020. Wallens wanted to capture the mood of the World during ‘lockdown’, representing the internal and external battles that many of us have in the modern world to love and be loved for who we are, exploring the effects of societal programming and cultural conditioning, captivating the viewer with soul-stirring intrigue. Wallens’ work has now become a firm favourite with international high net worth private art collectors and interior designers alike.
