Artwork description:

Back in July 2008 I had the opportunity to celebrate 4th of July in Las Vegas. In the day, before the evening’s festivities, we had a few hours to kill as I didn't really fancy sitting inside a dark room gambling on slot machines. So being an outdoors Scandinavian walking about outdoors was what I decided to do. With over 40 degrees Celsius (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit) in the shade this might not have been the brightest of ideas. Photographically it was a brilliant idea if course. As always in Las Vegas there is lots of construction going on and I came across this view. Thought the contrast between the hoarding and the golden Trump Tower was an interesting juxtaposition. Little did I know how relevant this would be in the present political environment nine years later. Looking at today's political picture I think I'm standing on the right side of this fence.

Also available in other sizes:
136x203cm - edition of 10

Beautifully Giclée printed on Hahnemuhle Pearl paper - a slightly textured 285 gsm. semi-gloss paper which holds more detail with punchier colours than a matt paper, whilst maintaining a illustrative/ painted feel.

Technology: Epson UltraChrome HDR Wide Gamut Inks with archival life expectancy: 40 years daylight, 200 years in dark.

All prints are professionally printed to ensure the absolute best quality and consistency. I pride myself in strict quality control, hence I only use top professional printers based here in London, that I am content use very strict colour consistency checks and use the very best of printing techniques available. This of course greatly increases production costs, but give me and my customers the peace of mind that I deliver a supreme quality artwork.

Materials used:

Hahnemuhle Pearl - 285 gsm. semi-gloss finish.
