The poster is 24 x 18 with an edition of 200 printed on black paper with metallic gold inks and a dark metallic silver and will be on sale of course at the show. According to Todd the metallics just pop in person.
Here is what Todd had to say about the design:
I wanted to make an image about conflict in relationships. The two
bighorns butting heads symbolizes the conflict and the two birds
flying away signify its resolution. Above their heads is an
illustrated version of a Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin. It's
an extremely rare coin and is considered by many to be the most
beautiful of the US coins. It's purpose here is draw a parallel
between the rarity and beauty that make up the coin and the couples
own relationship.
The skulls and roses in the background make this pretty bad ass
ReplyDeleteWhen is this beauty going on sale?
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of Todd Slater's work - and have been hoping he would do an Avett show soon. I won't be in NM ... but hope to buy this print as soon as I can figure out how to get one! Love his work.
