Dan May Where Have All The Monsters Gone? Print Release
1xRUN are excited to welcome back artist Dan May as he returns for his 4th RUN Where Have All The Monsters Gone? a swirlingly detailed piece painted back in 2011. This time around Dan has also brought 1xRUN 10 unique pieces on Bamboo panels.
"Before starting this piece, I paid a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago and spent some time admiring a beautiful painting by Max Ernst, titled Spanish Physician. It is a stunning piece that is loaded with texture, which he achieved by using a technique called decalcomania. The process involves pressing paint between two surfaces. Upon returning to my studio I immediately began playing around and loved the beautiful textures that this technique yielded; this served as a perfect base layer to begin my next painting.
As a result, the original is loaded with texture. To replicate that in the print we have chosen a fine art paper with a great texture and the limited 10 on bamboo panel. As with all of my work, hopefully it strikes a chord with the viewer and inspires emotion, intrigue, and maybe even a story." - Dan May
Where Have All The Monsters Gone? is a 16 x 20 Inches Archival Pigment Print On Bamboo Panel + Fine Art Paper with a signed and numbered edition of 60 and 10
