Butterfly Bomb By Dan Pearce

Dan Pearce - master of mixed media printing - was recently featured in London's Shortlist magazine as one of the UK's most collectable emerging artists. Such an endorsement needs little elaboration: the works speak for themselves. Bold and confident, his prints take inspiration from celebrity culture, street-style, and pop art, blending elements of fine art to create an iconic aesthetic that carefully blends new, digital media with old-school techniques. 'The Butterfly Bomb' a enacts a beautiful dialogue between movement and stasis in the printed form. PVC butterflies are layered on an aluminium sheet, formed in the shape of a falling WW2 bomb as butterfly wings flutter beyond the constrains of the print. Bursting with life, Pearce completes the piece with lashings of ink and resin, creating an intense array of colour to build a breathtaking texture. A stunning centrepiece.
