Artwork description:

This magnificent portrait of the iconic Jamaican musician is a reproduction of an original painting by the outstanding modern artist Alim Smith, who has a vivid and instantly recognizable painting style. This piece would make a wonderful gift for fans of Bob Marley and reggae music and followers of Rastafarianism. Marley is also a cult figure for artists, musicians and other creative people who lead an “alternative” lifestyle. This work, created by several kilometers of a continuous mono-thread that cross, re-cross, and crisscross a circular area on a flat board between fixation points located and evenly spaced around the perimeter, is almost as incomprehensible as the Universe. After the first 30 of the 4400 iterations that make up the image, the number of possible knitting variants exceeds the number of atoms in the Universe! So it’s simply impossible to reproduce this artwork by guesswork or to untangle it with your mind, which makes it a fascinating and insanely intriguing gift.
