Aphrodite

Dominic Brown · 2011

“Aphrodite” shows a somewhat eclectic figure on a background of a bold mixture of different shapes, colors and layers. The portrayed figure is unmistakably feminine, although she misses identifiable characteristics like breasts. However, her elegant face and beautiful big lips give away her identity. The ambiguous character is like Aphrodite - having multiple appearances, though always revealing herself as the unmistakable feminine character goddess of love and beauty. This artwork comes in limited editions of 100 x 70 (25 pieces), 120 x 90 cm (8 pieces), and 160 x 120 (3 pieces). Techniques used: I draw by hand on paper, scan it in and then work it out with Photoshop. The artwork will be finished with the use of the most modern printing techniques available today (HD metal). About HD metal: Transfer printing onto metal is a new, cutting edge, way to reproduce an image. While being subjected to extreme heat and pressure, the dyes from the transfer paper turn into a gas, are pressed into the surface of the metal, and then solidify into the treated aluminum. The unique thing is that the gloss level of the metal is fully preserved, which results in an unbelievable picture quality.
