Description
The Steve McQueen artwork is an impressive addition to Van Apple’s oeuvre. This Popart portrait of The King Of Cool grabs immediate attention! The perforated edges and sparkling elements create an enchanting effect, especially when combined with the multi-layered epoxy coating that covers the artwork.
Van Apple’s art combines digital techniques, such as photography, with iconic features. He uses gold foil, Swarovski crystals and adds different colors and handcrafted elements, such as butterflies, which are covered with various epoxy layers. This layering allows him to create innovative and unique mixed-media artworks with a stunning 3D effect. Steve Mc Queen is a work of art with a very limited edition of only 10 copies, but each piece is unique because of the many manual edits and additions. This work of art is not easily captured in photographs, which is why we cordially invite you to visit our gallery and admire this work, as well as Van Apple’s other amazing artworks, in person. Steve Mc Queen is available for purchase and can also be borrowed through our Art Loan.
