The Rocketeers Painting

The Rocketeers Mixed media painting on wood board mounted on painted wooden frame. Signed and dated on the back. This is one in a series of artworks I made which combines the unintential beauty of scientific illustrations/diagrams with images of people who have been removed for their own context and transposed into an abstract landscape. The juxaposition of imaginery creates a surreal world, which is both nostalgic and dream-like. The images are built up over several layers and utilises many artistic techniques including drawing, markmaking, printing (half tone screen printing, mono printing and relief printing), painting (oil and acrylic) and hand lettering. This image pays homage to the boundless imagination of small children. I created a halftone screen print from a found photo, which gives the image the impression that it has been taken from a newspaper story. The little boys are the Rocketeers...going boldly where no man has gone before! The classic rocket schematic is a mono print (the rocket in this image is actually an unmanned missile) All the work in this series are created by traditional techniques...they are NOT collage or digital prints.
