About the Item
Inspired by cinema, photography, music and literature, Monet has a natural connection and sense for the current society and his contemporaries. His signature conceptual assemblage of text texture and color exudes eccentricity and empowerment of its time, exemplifying the characters and personalities of its icons. Born in Montreal, Monet studied graphic design at Laval University while exploring other mediums in fine art. He worked in fashion and advertisement before he dedicated himself to be a full time artist. Monet explored various mediums such as mosaic, collage and acrylics.
More recently, he turned to the portrait. But not just any kind of portrait: blending collage of old newspapers and books, painting and varnishing, the traits of his characters are recreated with such precision that one might see a realistic photography arising from a distance. This new production reveals the strengths and weaknesses of individuals appearing on the canvases. Recently Monet was appointed to do the portrait of the century, Prince William and Kate Middleton, in celebration of their coming love unification.
With much success in recent years, Monet’s work has been exhibited in Paris, London, New York, Seoul, Singapore, Miami,Oslo, Cannes, Toronto, Montreal, Dubai and Hong Kong.

André Monet
In his intricate collages made of old newspapers, magazines and pages from books, contemporary artist André Monet lays bare the eccentric and often complex personalities of some of the world’s top celebrities — from his homage to the late David Bowie in the 2013 London group exhibition “The Many Faces of David Bowie” to his evocative portraits of pop icons Jay-Z, Rihanna and Drake.
Monet was born in Montreal in 1965. In the 1980s, he studied graphic design and explored mediums such as mosaics, collage and acrylics at Laval University in Quebec City. After graduating, Monet spent several years working in fashion and advertising before deciding to become a full-time artist.
Inspired by cinema, photography, music and literature, Monet began creating colorful Pop art-style paintings of celebrities. His richly textured assemblages combine mass media scraps — strips of paper from newspapers, books and maps — with painting and varnishing. This meticulous technique yields Photorealist collage depictions that reveal both the strengths and weaknesses of his subject.
Among Monet’s most notable works are images of Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Leonard Cohen, Anthony Bourdain, Winston Churchill and Mick Jagger, to name a few. In 2011, the artist was commissioned to create a portrait of Prince William and Catherine Middleton to commemorate their wedding. His portraits have been exhibited around the world, including in Paris, London, New York, Miami, Toronto, Montreal, Seoul and Singapore. Monet’s portraits have also been featured in publications such as Rolling Stone, Interview and more.

Judy Garland - Original Black and White Red Lips Mixed Media String Artwork
By Ricky Hunt
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Ricky Hunt’s work is influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphs, graffiti and his tumultuous past that led to a paradigm shift in creativity and life. On his sculptural and three-dimensional mixed media artworks he covers the wood panel with carefully placed nails and creates intriguing portraits with thread woven through the nails. The harmony of the overall filography composition finds its way through his intricate threading of yarn into a cohesive visual statement. Hidden within the patterns and markings of this string art portrait are limitless points of interest, constantly revealing the imagery in a new way for us to discover. His works have been exhibited at galleries and art fairs internationally, including Los Angeles, New York, Zurich, Hong Kong and London.
This unique mixed media artwork measures 48 inches high by 42 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The shadows cast by the nails and black thread add a three-dimensional texture to this monochromatic artwork. It is wired and ready to hang. It does not require framing. It is signed and dated by the artist on the back of the artwork. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping available (this artwork ships in a crate). A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry and astronomy are a few of the themes that run through his paintings and he expresses it with unique imagery. Hunt describes his contemporary imagery as, “Chaotic order pouring from the watery depths of my unconscious”.
Ricky Hunt lives and paints in Los Angeles. A brief period of drug addiction in the 1980's led to a term of incarceration for the artist. This in turn led to the discovery of his artistic talent and personal transformation through the love of art. He found inspiration in artists such as Basquiat and Haring...
