Time is of the pictorial essence in Samantha Ellis’ very latest compositional reveals, which we are sharing with you for the first time here and now. Buses for example – red London ones or not – are chiefly governed by time, whilst the meters on board your typical black cab are again a slave to the passing of time. And then of course there’s that other prominent time piece which can be seen further across the London metropolistic spread and pre-dates both the Routemaster and Hackney carriage, namely Big Ben and it’s all surveying clock tower. Ellis’ ‘Playing for Time’ offers an alternative pictorial spin on that old favourite theme, and compositionally-speaking serves to pictorially perpetuate the acclaimed contemporary cityscape practitioner’s love affair with all things London and resolutely iconic as you can see for yourself. Naturally, you can see this a whole lot more up close and personal where you to stake a graphical claim to this illustrative first ASAP, and earmark your very own giclee on board limited edition iteration which visually marks Ellis’ Spring 2016 mini-series. Which we’d recommend on the grounds of artistic taste and creative decency. However with a mere 195 hand-signed examples up for grabs, we’d suggest you make your move sooner rather than later.
