Our Dark Past

Our Dark Past

By Stuart Forrester

2-layer screen print on a 40cm diameter aluminium di-bond disc with wall hanging and buffers attached to the reverse. Hand-finished in black holographic glitter. Signed on reverse. The di-bond aluminium disc is one of Stuart Forrester's most distinctive formats — a circular wall piece that refuses the conventional rectangular picture plane, the object itself making a statement before the image is read. The wall hanging and rubber buffers are integrated into the piece rather than added after the fact. Our Dark Past — the phrase that names the complicated relationship between history and the present, the things that shaped us and that we'd rather not claim. 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.. Our guide to investing in art prints is worth reading at this price. Signed on reverse. £250.
