Description

Cages #8 original wraparound cover art by Dave McKean
mixed media in Dave's typical style
size 31 1/8 x 20 3/4 inch or 52.8 x 79 cm
Sorry for the bad photo, too much glare but it's very glossy.
This was the best photo of the piece framed I mangaged to take
I had to change the glass for UV glass and needed to take it out of the frame because the person who previously framed the piece misplaced a few of the colored stripey pieces. One piece was missing but found it in the bottom of the frame behind some wood
I remmeber seeing this piece 30 years ago in Dave's early "Graphicus Touring" exhibition and in the Narcolepsy Exhibtions
When I asked about a possible purchase about this piece Dave always said he didn't want to sell his Cages covers so I was a bit surprised seeing this for sale and well, obviously I bought it.

A mixed media masterpiece! The 3D relief aspect of it is an extra dimension that makes it more object than painting to get McKean's vision out there into the world. Rather than be a reflection of it.

That one is better the more you come back to it. McKean at top form.
