Ian Francis | Two New Print Releases | Lazarides Editions, by LAZARIDES on Oct 5, 2015 14:13:01 GMT 1, lovely LAZARIDES do you have some background story for the first one, I love the aesthetics but cat really figure out whats going on in it (sorry, im new and curious) A native american, an officer skeleton, a surveillance camera and a roman tempel? From the press release for The Chosen Form of Your Destroyer, the exhibition from which the two pieces were chosen to edition:
The Chosen Form of Your Destroyer is focused on a new series of mixed media works depicting the coexistence of beauty and destruction in modern society. The Bristol-based artist celebrates his third full-scale solo exhibition at Rathbone Place this year, once again transporting his viewers into other-worldly realms, littered with subconscious realities and blurred boundaries synonymous with his work to date.
The artist's cross-disciplinary approach weaves intricate layers of both painting and drawing to create distinctly ultra-modern works, providing a powerful dialogue between contemporary techniques and dystopian cinematic content. Francis utilises a high-contrast mixture of oil, ink, acrylic, graphite and charcoal to construct works that are both dramatically appealing and visually striking, whilst alluding to underlying notes of melancholy, alienation and social critique. The new series of paintings continue to examine reoccurring themes of constructed worlds, virtual relationships and shifting dimensions that underpin Francis' wider practice.
The Chosen Form of Your Destroyer will present a combination of figurative monochromatic paintings alongside larger compositions depicting fantastical narratives spiralling just out of our reach. Francis is fascinated with the moment of quiet fragility ahead of a majestic destruction, referencing the lack of individual choice and identity amid a much larger, uncontrollable force. Abstraction and figuration mutually support the artist's suggestion of a world view where violence and style intersect, balancing a careful mix of intimate moments and all-encompassing narratives. The forthcoming exhibition revisits Francis' interest in sensationalist media and human interaction within an ever-evolving contemporary landscape, capturing still-frames charged with conflict, passion and mystery.

Ian Francis | Two New Print Releases | Lazarides Editions, by LAZARIDES on Oct 8, 2015 16:15:53 GMT 1, Two People Feed A Lion is not sold out yet, it's the (un)usual people who like to put things in carts/baskets with no intention of buying who are preventing others from doing so. These baskets will eventually time out and editions will become available again.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused to those who genuinely want to purchase a print.

I had been hoping a print would be released after seeing it at the show. Shocked that both pieces are still available.

Unless anyone on here has an amazing idea I could always be persuaded otherwise.
Just need to work out what's coming off the wall to make room for it!

Anyone already framed it and has pictures?? I went for a white painted box frame with it floated on white backing board. I'll post pics in a couple of weeks when it comes back from the framers.
