The Monster (A3 Print)

If you liked any of the mini oil paintings/sketches from my 2020 ‘100 Paintings in 12 Months Project’ you might be interested to know that I’ve had some of my favourite ones made into A3-sized poster prints.

So far, there are 7 different prints available. I’ll post about the others soon, but for now I’d like to introduce you to probably my favourite of the bunch, ‘The Monster’. This is my take on the creature from the Mary Shelley classic, ‘Frankenstein’. In this painting, I hoped to capture some of the mournful or melancholic quality that I feel the Monster imbues. Whether it be through the black and white horror movies of the 1930s (which I so loved as a child, but which now seem so slow paced and hard to watch) or through Shelley’s poignant writing in the original novel, I always sympathised (and probably identified) more with the monster. In this piece, I worked quite quickly, using rough, gestural strokes, trying to echo the way that the monster in the novel was probably created; roughly and without much forethought for aesthetics or beauty.

The prints are printed on glossy, heavy-duty 300gsm paper, with digital inks that give a silk finish. One of the things I especially like about these prints is that, in areas, you can see flecks of highlights and shadows where from where the paint, in the original painting, was more thickly applied to the work's surface.

 

All of the prints are £20 each with free postage. If you’d like one, just DM me or drop me an email at waynechisnall@yahoo.co.uk
