Artwork description:

'Sun Kissed Wendy', from Richard Heeps' 'Man's Ruin' Series. This artwork is part of a sequence capturing Wendy at the Rockabilly Weekender, Viva Las Vegas. This cinematic portrait of Wendy captures her kissed by the sunset.

Taken in 2001, this artwork was printed from negative in Richard's darkroom for the first time in March 2021.

This artwork is a limited edition of 25, gloss photographic print from negative, accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.

Richard Heeps’ seductive, highly saturated colours and sophisticated pictorial structures demonstrate a true love and empathy for his subject matter – be it cool, descriptive interiors, still life, portrait or landscape. His distinctive style pushes the limits of lens-based photography without the need for digital manipulation. He runs his own darkrooms in Cambridge (UK) where he hand prints his colour photography. His work has been exhibited in Museums and Public Galleries around England, and he has participated in Art Fairs around the world, and his work is now part of many international collections.

Materials used:

Photographic Paper, C-Print, Silver Gelatin
