"GIANT KATE BUSH POP ART"
this portrait is currently under re-construction and re-design and will be exhibited in it's final state at darwen library theatre exhibition between sat 10th march and 30th march 2007.
THE ORIGINAL IMAGE IS TAKEN FROM HER EARLY 1980'S LOOK, AND ADAPTED INTO A CARTOON LIKE FORM.
WE HAVE WORKED AS USUAL IN ACRYLICS, MAKING AND STRETCHING OUR OWN FRAMEWORK FROM PINE, AND CANVAS (100% COTTON), WHICH GIVES THE PIECE A STRONGER UNIQUE SHAPE.
FACIALLY, THE IMPORTANT PART WHICH WE WANTED TO ACCENTUATE WAS THE MOUTH AREA, WHICH WE FELT WAS NECESSARY TO REFLECT A STRONG LOOK OF THE ERA, SO WE MIXED AN IRRIDESCENT PINK INTO THE RED ACRYLIC, CREATING A JELLY CONSISTENCY PAINT, AND BUILT UP SEVERAL LAYERS OF IT.
WE ALSO WORKED BRONZE GLITTER INTO THE EYES, TO GIVE THEM AN ENERGY WHICH WE FELT IS AN ESSENTIAL KATE BUSH FEATURE.
THE PIECE MEASURES A VERY LARGE 179CM X 67CM AMD ALL STAPLING AND FIXING IS ON THE REVERSE SO NONE OF THAT IS VISIBLE TO THE FRONT.
