Work 628; Portrait of the Portrait Artist.

Posted on January 13, 2013 Under London Dada

Paul Elmsley
Portrait of the Portrait Artist
c. Michael St.Mark 2013

Given the critical furore in art review circles concerning  Paul Emsley’s royal portrait, London Dada deem it
appropriate that the royal artist be given his own controversial art interpretation for posterity.
( Kate looks on, approvingly… do we detect a veiled smile of secret satisfaction? )

She couldn’t possibly comment.

A4 giclee print on premium Ilford pearl, “scrunched”. ( ” scrunch flex portraiture” invented by M.St.M in 2007 )
Left part of the print adhered to the frame’s backing panel, the right side raised in relief for further 3D manipulation.
Infinitely flexible portraiture artwork.

Open box framed; 21cms x 30cms

The original image; Paul Emsley with his somewhat drab, tired and overworked portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge’s photo, unveiled at the NPG yesterday.

Perhaps he should stick to drawing, “wot he is good at”.

And finally; ” Mystery Woman”, from way back when.
