Conor Harrington head of state state of head reserve now, by 25127096 on Sept 18, 2017 16:42:03 GMT 1, A New Series of Paintings & Prints by Conor Harrington
Hungry Boy Books are proud to present an exciting new painting and print project by Conor Harrington โHead of State/ State of Headโ.
Small in scale and intimate in subject matter this new series of paintings and prints stand in direct contrast to the large scale oil paintings and outdoor murals that Harrington is known for. As such we are offered a glimpse into the daily practices and experiments of Harrington's continuing painting output, with each painting bearing the date it has been made as part of the title.
The series is divided in half, with five blue paintings and five red, the traditional colours of opposing political parties, gang culture, and the corners of boxing rings. Using colour to symbolise tribalism and allegiances, and through a variety of processes including wiping, blurring and over-painting, Harrington employs the traditional head format as a motif to subvert ideas of power and status.
From the 10 paintings a suite of 10 prints have been made to form the print boxset. All boxes also contain a hardback book cataloguing the series. See images below with more info about how to register your interest.

Especially following his last series. Any news on if the book is limited edition? I'll be offline from Thursday to Saturday night for some holidays.

Hahaha definitely is. Maybe this would have been better as a flip book. I could definitely see something like this being very cool on the wall at a show, to show everyone the progression but they don't seem to me like something that would go on a wall.

So while it's not overhyped, I think it was still a successful release. I liked some of the blue ones, but prefer 480GBP in the pocket, so I bought myself the book

There going on my wall and I canโt wait. I like some of the images more than the others. But I think when framed together collectively this could be very cool and unique.
