About the Item
Tony Scherman (b. 1950) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. Scherman's sumptuous portraits (whether contemporary, historical or allegorical) reference art history's masters, ranging from Goya to Manet, yet his works are visceral and contemporary.
Brigitte Bardot (b. 1934), also known by her initials of B.B., is a legendary French actress and international sex symbol. Bardot first began acting as a teenager and rapidly rose to prominence in French cinema. By portraying sexually liberated characters with hedonistic ways (and occasional nudity), Bardot became a worldwide sex symbol in the late 1950's.
In the early 1960's Bardot's global popularity helped introduce French New Wave cinema to the world. Both on-screen and off, Bardot's persona was one of beauty, sexual liberation, and the joie de vivre she effortlessly exuded and pursued.
At the height of her fame in the 70's, Bardot escaped the fate of similarly doomed starlets who had tumultuous relationships with fame and left acting to pursue her true passion - animal activism.
In this beautifully rendered etching, Scherman has captured Bardot's iconic beauty. With her signature winged eye makeup, parted pillowy lips, and tousled blonde bouffant updo, Bardot the screen siren is instantly recognizable. Unlike many images of Bardot, she appears neither seductive nor seduced, with an ambiguous expression held in her large, dark eyes.
Tony Scherman's unique prints do not come to market frequently. This work is a rare affordable entry point for a young collector interested in Tony Scherman.
Today the artist's work can be found in nearly every public collection in Canada, as well as many international museums including LACMA (Los Angeles) and Centre Pompidou (Paris).

Tony Scherman
Tony Scherman (b. 1950) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. He is renowned internationally for his work, typically executed in encaustic, a mix of wax and oil (one of the most difficult mediums to work in). Scherman frequently alludes to the grandeur of past centuries, both in his subject matter and his technique of painting with encaustic. The artist is continuing a tradition, of working with this material, that has been propelled through art history by a diverse number of canonical artists including Pieter Claesz, Caravaggio, and Cézanne.

My Mummy Jocasta
By Tony Scherman
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Tony Scherman (b. 1950) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists.
He is renowned internationally for his work, typically executed in the highly temperamental medium of encaustic, which is a wax-based paint equivalent.
Scherman's moody palette and sumptuous portraits (whether contemporary, historical or allegorical) reference a range of masters, including Goya and Manet, yet his works are visceral and contemporary. Scherman's allusions to both history, and the history of visual art, are constants in his oeuvre.
This work, which depicts Oedipus' mother/lover Jocasta in carnal ecstasy, comes from one of the artist's most recognizable series, The Seduction of Oedipus.

Brigitte Bardot Large edition
Charcoal and black glitter Screen print on 300 gsm Somerset Satin Paper
Edition of 10
Price is for unframed, we are happy to coordinate framing for this piece at an extra cost.
This new larger ‘Sparkle edition’ Brigitte Bardot is limited to just 10 and will create an impact on any wall. Originally released as a smaller print, it was dubbed ‘Beautiful, original and certainly collectable’ in the Sunday Times Style Magazine ‘, and was an instant sell out. The print features Emerson’s signature elongated figure combined with a delicate textural surface, which combines a unique black glitter and charcoal powder finish.
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...
