'GOLDEN KISS' New Luke Insect Prints Launch , by Tower Art Gallery on Jul 15, 2008 21:17:26 GMT 1,  &  proudly presents...   Luke Insect 'GOLDEN KISS' Screen prints Signed and numbered by the artist. Limited Edition of 150 and 50 Size 70cm x 50cm. 24 karat Gold (green print only) Luke started the design collective 'INSECT' with his partner Paul 10 years ago, scaring the design and illustration community with their dark, surreal style and nightmarish imagery. This year sees the launch of his own studio specialising in art direction and illustration for the music, fashion and youth industries, with a style that incorporates Pop Art, 1960's and 1970's counter-culture and all things dark and twisted. The artist also co-runs a record label called 'Battered Ornament's'. Luke has been branching out into clothing recently with collaborations with 'Levi's' and 'Diesel', and after completing visuals for 'The Prodigy', Luke sent the band a 'Golden Kiss' artist proof print.

Not doing it for me really. Maybe I'm not "getting it" ?
I like his design though!

Anyway, I love golden kiss in the blue, it would look proper bo in my bedroom. Sadly its too expensive for me and I am gutted about it. If it were ยฃ95 for this one too, I would be in. I'm not the prodigy, but any chance of sending me an A/P?
Hell you dont ask you dont get eh!!!

Rorschach test cards.
They're ok, image seems a bit off to my eye, not sure what it is, possibly feels a bit unfinished and the contrast of detail is also a bit uncomfortable. A bit pricey in my opinion for what it is, but hey it's a famous chappy so no choice there. I do like the colours though.

Quite a crazy image! Reminds me a little of some of the Bast collages/prints, although perhaps a bit more coherent looking. I think the black and grey is slightly wishy-washy though and the colour version seems fairly pricey to me too, but I love the colours used.

Here are a few photographs of the prints detail. The gold leaf changes and shines as you walk around the artwork.

Am I seeing it right in those close ups though... does the gold leaf have some rather nasty looking seams in it? (The sun is shining off my screen right now so haven't got an entirely clear view).

'GOLDEN KISS' New Luke Insect Prints Launch , by dmandpenfold on Jul 29, 2008 16:21:53 GMT 1, yep, i can see seams too...
and being cynical i would say "New Insects Print Launch" is a contemptuous way of trading off Paul Insect's name and getting punters in the door only to be met with disappointment. This sort of slight of hand is pretty low IMO and does online galleries few favours...we are not fools..well most of us anyway

Whats the image supposed to depict? That question depends on your own perception. I see something rude! What do you see?
Each pair of lips is made from four to five sheets of 24k gold leaf. You can see the each individual gold sheets in the print. They shine and change color when you move round the artwork. We had test prints made using gold spray paint, gold ink and gold leaf. The gold leaf won hands down.
