the art of TROY GUA

troygua's Shop Announcement

From www.troygua.com:

These superbly crafted pieces are limited to an edition of just ten, making them highly collectible and ensuring their value. Each hand-signed reproduction is a high quality metallic photographic print of one of Troy's original paintings from his popular "Pop Hybrid" series. The print is secured to a sturdy, two inch profile, twelve inch square cradled hardboard, and encased in a rich coating of high-luster resin.

Here is what Kodak has to say about their Metallic Paper on Kodak.com:

"Kodak Endura Metallic Paper's glossy finish and metallic appearance creates images with exceptional visual interest and depth that results in striking, three-dimensional, lasting images on an ultra-bright background."

At a mere $250, these intensely brilliant works of art aren't just economical, they're a steal.

ABOUT THE SERIES:

This popular series of meticulously hand-painted work deals with pop iconography, ironic duality and satirical juxtapositions. Portraying famous and infamous cultural icons inter-layered with one another, these resin coated acrylic paintings challenge the viewer to visually decipher the image while making the sardonic, metaphorical and sometimes philosophical connections within.

"Troy's paintings are hyper-graphic iconic images in perfectly matched complementary colors. The morphed pairings create a camouflage of acrylic. They're really striking and they're hard to read, so you really have to visually investigate. Then you realize that it's both John Wayne and Elton John superimposed over each other. Which is funny in and of itself, but then you realize that John Wayne was an avowed homophobe while Elton John is an avowed homosexual. Funny and smart"
