It was an emotional evening and one that I felt privileged to watch, alongside Marián’s friends and family. 48 hours previously, Marián was joined by two other Chicago “Hall of Famers”, Chris Chelios and Denis Savard, and nine other Blackhawks stars to collaborate with me on an idea that had been marinating in my mind for some time. My concept was to merge in unity, two of Chicago’s most precious possessions, its architecture and its beloved Blackhawks. This is a proud city...

"Nantucket's Last Supper" Nantucket, USA 2022 71 x 71 inches (Framed) Smaller Size Available - 52 X 52 inches framed Digital Pigment Print on Archival 315gsm Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta Paper This work was sourced directly from the artist. I struggle to think of an island in the world where one colour enjoys such a monopoly of the building exteriors as grey does in Nantucket. White enjoys a healthy control of the facades of Greek islands such as Mykonos and Santorini, but there is no such thing as a Greek White in decorators’ colour palettes, whereas there is most certainly a Nantucket Grey described as “a stylish gray-green reminiscent of fog settling over grassy fields.” During our time on Nantucket, I scouted for a building that could proudly showcase not just this colour, but also Nantucket’s distinct architectural design. Happily, this was not a challenging quest as the oldest building on the island - The Old House - built in 1680, ticks both boxes. The island’s English population at the time totalled just several hundred, and the native Wampanoag outnumbered them by at least three to one. In 2022 this historic building had clear potential as a contextual backdrop; I just needed a foreground narrative. We have shot “Last Supper” stories in Montana and Texas and this seemed as good an opportunity as any to continue this series, albeit on this occasion, I felt obliged to introduce a maritime vibe. To me Nantucket is about the storied past not the present and the island has no shortage of Salty Dog characters to pick up on the streets and dress accordingly. The central figure in the piece - a female mastiff called Cash - was more than willing to take a pipe in her mouth, so long as there was a bit of bread on the end of it. It was not an easy ask for her handler but all we needed was one second and then to hope that the human talent was all on point and remembering their pose from Available Sizes (Framed Size) Large: 71" x 71" Standard: 52" x 52" Available Editions Large: Edition of 12 Standard: Edition of 12 About David Yarrow David Yarrow was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966.
