About The Artwork

‘Silos of Solitude' has been released as a limited edition 1 - 25. It is a reproduction of my original acrylic painting on canvas ‘Silos of Solitude'. Here's what I wrote about the original artwork: Edward Hopper (1882 – 1967) was one of the great American realist artists of the 20th century who painted scenes of everyday life often depicting darker aspects of the American dream such as solitude and isolation. Hopper came to mind as I was finishing this painting, especially his famous artwork ‘Nighthawks’ (1942) that depicts a small group of barely interacting customers in a brightly lit diner on a dark night. While there was no direct inspiration from Hopper here the parallels with his work are clear; the bright lights on a dark night and what I would call the ‘silos of solitude’ – the lone pedestrian and passing vehicles driven by their sole occupants. Each is operating in isolation, self-contained and caught up in their thoughts. The visual metaphor is even more relevant given the Government imposed lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic. While solitude shouldn’t be confused with loneliness, in our modern urbanised society both are the standard experience of many. This exclusive museum quality pigment ink print on archival 310gsm Hahnemuhle cotton paper is signed and numbered by the artist. The artwork is professional reproduced by Image Science, Melbourne. The total dimensions of the print are A2 size: 42cm x 59.4cm. there is a 4cm white border on the left and right and a 9cm white border at the top and bottom. Image dimensions: 34cm x 41cm. The print can be housed in a standard A2 sized frame without trimming or matt board. Source reference image credit: Hugo Powell.
