The artist can't really be blamed for revisiting one of his old themes, especially since it was popular and successful for him.

What's disappointing, however, is the apparent lack of development. With the above two pieces, it looks like there's actually been a regression. The earlier relief printing of stuffed toys was in full-length. And striking — in particular for its negative image / x-ray aesthetic.






But those new half-length prints on canvas seem almost like pastiches by comparison.


To members who aren't familiar with Geoffrey Ricardo*, he's an eclectic artist, using different mediums and visual styles. You can search his name along with "stuffed toy" in Google Images for additional examples of past work I'm referring to.

Check out as well the 2013 video below. A little cutesy and possibly too long (3:03), though it does a decent job of showing his process for the prints on paper:
