David Studwell Photography

British
David Studwell is a contemporary British printmaker celebrated for his vibrant, Pop-Art–inspired screenprints that explore the glamour and fragility of fame. A graduate of Central Saint Martins, London, Studwell has spent more than two decades refining a visual language that fuses the bold iconography of 1960s–70s popular culture with a distinctly modern edge. Drawing on the golden era of Hollywood and the music industry, his work re-imagines legendary figures such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Bob Dylan, Steve McQueen, and Elizabeth Taylor. Studwell’s precision screen-printing and frequent use of diamond dust create striking images that shimmer with both allure and an underlying sense of vulnerability. His art examines the tension between celebrity’s polished façade and the darker realities behind it—often referencing paparazzi snapshots, mugshots and other intimate, off-guard moments. Studwell’s limited-edition prints have attracted an international following and are held in the collections of Kate Moss, Nile Rodgers and Sheryl Crow, among others. Highlights include his celebrated collaboration with photographer Terry O’Neill on Elton John: Home Run – Dodger Stadium 1975, a six-colour diamond-dust screenprint paying tribute to one of rock’s most iconic performances. Featured in GQ, Elle and The World of Interiors, and exhibited at leading events such as the Affordable Art Fair (London), Studwell continues to capture the glitter and grit of modern celebrity culture in works that are at once nostalgic and sharply contemporary.

This piece is sold with a custom wood copper finish box frame, perfect for a contemporary setting. This gorgeous artwork on paper was created initially with a screen print base of the model, then Rosie hand finishes the work with a unique splash and painted composition. Some call them Unique Prints. The base image is only used 9 times 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 screen...
