"The Penguin of Death" by Edward Monkton A Hand-Pulled Silkscreen on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition of 195 Image Size: 33.25" x 26" Float Mounted in Transparent Box "Please call 866-Fine-Art (866-346-3278) for additional information." "Availability/Prices subject to change." "Often, the most attractive things are the most dangerous-and there's nothing like a surprise. As with the Penguin-so with LIFE." Edward Monkton is the alter ego of Oxford University graduate, Giles Andreae. Giles began his artistic career as the creator of the successful cartoon character, Purple Ronnie. Sales of 80 million greeting cards and 5 million books have made him Britain's best-selling living poet and an icon of contemporary popular culture. His Edward Monkton persona reveals a deeper, more philosophical approach to life and packs a much greater emotional impact. Monkton's work is as simple as it is profound-as philosophical as it is decorative. He takes on the big subjects that have fascinated artists and writers through the centuries...love, happiness, truth, beauty, the struggle of the soul to create meaning out of life, and gives them his own unique twist. Wry humor, resonant, evocative wording and a bold, graphic visual style are the hallmarks of this wistful, playful artist/poet. |
