This Is Lydia Monoprint
The artwork, titled "This Is Lydia," is a captivating portrayal of the famous burlesque performer Lydia Thompson. Sized at 8" x 10" on 9" x 12" paper, this piece is an acrylic monoprint that combines vintage charm with contemporary flair. Lydia is depicted in a vibrant and eclectic outfit that merges elements of western attire with modern, playful embellishments. Her white hat adorned with flowers on one side adds a touch of whimsy, while her top, a mélange of pinks, whites, and blacks, features intricate patterns and decorative pins. These pins, including "GRL PWR" and drama masks, symbolize various aspects of her life and character.
The background of the painting enhances its playful and pop-art aesthetic with large blue polka dots set against a beige field. This contrast between the detailed portrait and the simplistic, vibrant backdrop brings a unique visual appeal that captures both the historical and contemporary essence of Lydia's persona.
What makes this artwork particularly unique is the method used to create it. Starting with a collagraph/collage composed of various materials, an impression was then taken from a gel plate. The artist intricately reverse painted the impression before printing it onto paper, resulting in a highly intricate and textured piece. This innovative process, combined with the artist’s skillful eye for detail and color, makes "This Is Lydia" a standout addition to any collection, blending historical reverence with modern artistic techniques.
Note: Frame is a mockup only and not included. Your monoprint will be secured in a white matte and is ready to fit into an 11" x 14" frame.
