AP Artist Proof 2020 Signed & Marked AP Size 18x26
Mount Rushmore, an iconic American monument, has been vividly reimagined in the stunning work of Scott Listfield. Known for his distinctive style, Listfield often juxtaposes familiar landscapes with unexpected elements, offering viewers a chance to reimagine the world around them. This particular piece, an AP Artist Proof from 2020, showcases Mount Rushmore in a new light, integrating it into an urban graffiti backdrop. The archival pigment fine art limited edition print is crafted on 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper, emphasizing the intricate details and rich colors Listfield is renowned for. Listfield's approach to Mount Rushmore seamlessly merges pop art, street art, and graffiti art genres, pushing boundaries and challenging conventional representations of this monumental sculpture. The artist's decision to incorporate urban buildings and street graffiti at the base of the mountain not only adds depth and dimension to the artwork but also offers commentary on the ever-evolving nature of American culture and its intersection with urbanization and street aesthetics. Marked and signed as an AP, denoting its status as an Artist Proof, this print holds particular value for collectors and art enthusiasts. The size, 18x26, provides a broad canvas for the artist to explore detailed nuances, from the familiar faces on the mountain to the street signs and graffiti tags in the foreground. Listfield's depiction of a lone astronaut, a recurrent figure in many of his works, adds a layer of contemplation and perhaps even critique of American exploration and expansion. This piece, like much of Listfield's work, prompts reflection on societal change, historical reverence, and the evolving urban landscape.
