About the Item

Charcoal on paper Signed and dated (lower right) 105cm × 73cm (109cm × 78cm framed) A Colombian painter, draughtsman and lithographer, known for his depictions of the male nude, with figures often in highly erotic, if not tortured, poses. He was one of the few Latin American artists of his time to be open about his sexuality, both before and after his relocation to Paris. From 1968 to his untimely death from AIDS in 1995, Caballero lived and worked in Paris. Caballero's pictures are exclusively devoted to the human body. 'In my paintings,' he wrote 'one is dos not know whether the figures are dying or having an orgasm'.

Audrey Hepburn, mixed media limited edition fashion inspired unique screen print
By Rosie Emerson
Located in Dallas, TX
Rosie Emerson returns to her elongated trademark style for the release of a brand new Audrey Hepburn print. Emerson has developed her very own technique to make these to prints using charcoal powder instead of ink, these print have a soft look and light texture to them, the powder is fixed with layers of fixative and also a UV varnish so they are protected for the years to come. Elevating the iconic Audrey Hepburn these prints unite hand painted elements, collaged found wire, diamonds and star constellations all in her monochrome style. A small edition of just 20, each print will vary slightly due to her unique technique, they come signed and edition in pencil and embossed with an artists stamp. Rosie Emerson, born in 1981, is a contemporary artist working almost exclusively on representing the female form. Emerson’s figures draw reference from archetypes old and new, from Artemis to the modern day super model, each solitary figure, an allegory of her own fantasy. Interested in surface, the interplay between photography and painting. Emerson’s works are playful constructs; Photography is used, not as a device for capturing reality but for creating romanticised optical illusions. Inspired by her love of theatre, performance, shrines and rituals, she uses lighting, costume, set and prop making, alongside printmaking and painting to create other worldly one off pieces. Her photography is inspired by both the drama of the baroque, and ethereal qualities of Pre Raphaelite works. Other important influences include late medieval and renaissance paintings, Japanese prints, and magical realist literature. Emerson’s work is widely collected and exhibited both in the UK as well as internationally, through galleries, art fairs and museums. She has also worked with brands and individuals including Harvey Nichols, The Ivy Club, Sony, Triumph Underwear, Redbull, P&O Cruises, and Annoushka jewelry...
