Nothing Lasts Forever in the Diamond Dust edition — the phrase about impermanence given a finish of real crystalline glass fragments that catch light from every angle, the material and the message in productive tension. Diamond dust is a more material-intensive finish than glitter, and gives a different quality of light: more subtle, less uniform, genuinely shifting as you move around it. Stuart Forrester graduated from Central Saint Martins with a First Class BA Hons in Fashion Design, followed by an MA in Film Production Design. He has worked across film production and prop making, art direction for television, product development and interior design before returning to his first love of image making. His work combines classical and modern imagery to create a new narrative showing how time marches forever forward while human fears and desires ultimately remain the same. His art is best described as a dark and subtle clash between the Iconic and the ironic.. The aluminium disc format combines with the diamond dust to produce a piece that is object as much as image. Our guide to investing in art prints is worth reading. Signed on reverse. £275.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Stuart Forrester
Stuart graduated from Central St Martin’s School of Art with a First Class BA Hons in Fashion Design followed by an MA in Film Production Design.
Over the years he has worked in several creative areas including Film Production and prop making, Art direction for Television, Product development and Interior design for both private and commercial spaces. He recently returned to his first love of image making and his work focuses on combining classical and modern imagery to create a new narrative showing how time marches forever forward but human fears and desires ultimately remain the same. His art is best described as a dark and subtle clash between the Iconic and the ironic.He works with a deliberately limited palette of black, white and metallic finishes so that his pieces can hover in time visually, rather than being anchored to any specific era. His signature substrate is 540gsm ebony paper, giving his metallic and glitter finishes the dark ground they need to assert themselves fully. Several pieces use di-bond aluminium discs as the print surface — circular wall objects with integrated hanging and buffer feet, refusing the conventional rectangular picture plane. His main interest is the human condition: what it means to live with the knowledge of mortality, and the sheer comedy of existence that results.
