In this major work by established British artist Chris Gollon, the artist continues his interest in the predella format. The work is in five canvases, each 36" x 24" (91 x 61cm) and the first four are oil on canvas, and the last (Gollon's own self-portrait aged 61) is acrylic on canvas. The work will only be sold as a whole. The work is partially inspired by Neil Young's recent track 'Driftin' Back' on the Psychedelic Pill album; by the artist reading about the famous dinner at the Hotel Majestic in 1922 where Stravinsky, Joyce, Proust and Picasso all met (with mixed results); and by the history of self-portraiture from Durer to the present day. The work starts with a Gollonesque image of a Durer self-portrait and then moves to Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Beckmann and then finally Chris Gollon himself. Price on application.
