About

A dynamic, three-quarter profile portrait of George Michael that features a distinct fusion of high-energy Pop Art and raw street aesthetics. This mixed media piece is built upon a premium Giclée canvas print, individually hand-finished in the Manchester studio with thick structural modelling paste applied directly beneath layers of genuine gold leaf. While this limited edition offers collectors a hand-embellished iteration, the unique original painting is currently held in a private collection in Glasgow.

The subject is framed by a large, circular light blue backdrop, which is bordered at the outer edges and corners with hand-applied gold leaf. The artwork is characterized by bold, sketchy black linework, energetic red and white highlights, and heavy, directional palette-knife brushwork that builds significant tactile texture. The lower portion of the canvas—forming the subject’s jacket—incorporates intricate fragments of typography, seamlessly embedded into the dark paint layers using a manual transfer technique. The contrast between the clean cyan circle, the dense text transfers, and the reflective gold gilding creates a rich, multi-layered surface that shifts in appearance depending on the surrounding light.
