Icon

Icon is an original mixed-media collage inspired by fashion, pop culture, photography and the visual noise of modern life.

Layers of colourful printed imagery, magazine-style graphics, faces, typography and bold graphic elements are brought together across the canvas. At the centre, a hand-moulded clay face adds a quiet sculptural presence to the otherwise energetic composition.

The piece plays with the idea of the image as an icon — something we recognise, admire and consume, while constantly being surrounded by new versions of what is considered beautiful, interesting or important.

Each work is presented in a black pinewood frame and has been carefully sealed with a clear epoxy resin, creating a smooth, durable, professional finish while enhancing the depth, colour and texture of the mixed-media composition. The finished piece is ready to display and is designed to be enjoyed as a statement artwork.

Created by hand, Icon combines printed imagery with tactile handmade elements to create an original one-of-a-kind work.
