£315.00
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT - 'Artist Proof' from the sold out edition.
Please note, The print has a slight mis-registration with the gold leaf. Inspect pictures.
This latest silkscreen edition from Eddy Bennett boasts a 23ct gold finish, each one carefully gilded by the artist.
Dare To Be Different” is a piece inspired by Bennett's ongoing fascination with traditional ephemera and victorian aesthetic. Each element has been meticulously hand drawn before the printing process, which is something he pursues in all his work.
The phrase ‘Dare to be different’ is an ode to individualism and self expression. Depicting the ouroboros symbol on the flag, this symbolises infinity and the circle of life, as if to say; You have one life, so be unique in your own way - everyone else is taken! The horse rider is also being courageous in stance, encouraging bravery and risk taking - perhaps inspired by Bennett’s earlier ’Safety Last’ cowboy print...

what is an artist proof?
An A.P. print is one of the first prints to be made in the edition. These are checked over by the artist to ensure he is happy to continue with the process. Ensuring each one will be consistent and of good quality.
APs are sometimes more desired, because in the numbered edition there will only be a handful and not awlays for sale!
