Hi folks. Print release of “26 YEARS IN” available at www.joshuabenmore.com Available in 2 sizes(my biggest Giclee print yet) Gallery quality archival print on Giclée Hahnemühle Photo Rag. 2 options available: A2 - Open edition (Signed and titled) 420 x 594mm A1 - Super limited edition of 7 (Numbered, signed and titled) 594 x 841mm I chose an edition of 7 due to there being 7 subjects in the painting. Each limited edition will be titled with the corresponding character in order of what edition is sold (eg edition 01/07 - Goofy... 02/07 Mickey etc) About the series. MIDNIGHT DREAMS OF A SUMMER SLOWDANCE is a new series of over 20 artworks. The new work scouts different characters and various explorations into figuring out life as you grow. The series features nods to nostalgic elements of young to old experience. Starting with the first released piece ’26 YEARS IN’, a group of subjects is seen around a vibrant camp fire, enjoying company and thinking about where they’ve been and where they’re going. Bright colour choices, surreal elements and playful compositions surround the subjects in their youth and innocence. As the series moves on, signs of age and reality draw in upon the figures but a contentness and acceptance of liking where they’ve found themselves comes evident as the series closes. Experimenting with elements that sometimes leave with age - intuitive colour choice, colour blocking, thoughts in words and freedom in mark making. My mind naturally hyper saturates scenes and things I look back on, informing the colour palette. Paintings are mostly built upon warm sunset oranges and pinks. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLUurABMEnP/?igshid=1wlpltqeo4jh
