Description
The soldiers of laugher are dead.
Rise up.
Long live Liberty.
In the wake of the first terror attacks in 2015 (not a banner year for peaceful living in Paris), signs that the city was in solidarity with the murdered could be seen everywhere; from signs and banners at République, Je Suis Charlie placards in windows, and graffiti everywhere else. This instance was scratched into a tree trunk on the quais of the Seine.
My artworks are toner photo prints, handcrafted on 8×8″ wood blocks. To differentiate them from my regular photo blocks, I am adding a metal leaf border and a cast-metal fleur de lys clavos at the corner of each piece, which will come with a signed certificate of authenticity indicating that it is a unique print created for the “City of Delight” project. I have set the price of each piece at $75 to reflect Paris’ famous “75” postcode. 20% of my profits will be donated to UNESCO and the UNHCR at the end of 2016.
