The exhibition will present a series of unique mono-prints, a process which requires very quick action, as the artist applies the ink in vigour, working quickly before the ink dries. Despite their loosely crafted and energetic form, the iconic representations are clearly recognisable. Teddy Sue boldly renders images of major cultural and political figures, deconstructing the facial compositions and reducing the portraits into freely applied abstract expressionistic marks of vibrant colours. This medium provides the artist with immediacy between his vision and production, with the highly saturated palette, intensifying the spectacle of the image.
