TDK Mix Tape - 80s ICONS - Boxed Canvas

TDK Mix Tape is from the Icons Collaboration Series and is a William Thomas X ArtÓ collaboration. This is an open giclée print of the original textured acrylic on canvas. It measures 50cm x 50cm and as part of the Icons collaboration series is one of 6 artworks in a range of originals. The series was born after a collective meeting of minds and ideas that came about during a June 2023 visit with William Thomas in a gallery in Stow-on-the-Wold in the Cotswolds.

This piece is a vibrant wall filler and pays homage to a past technology in music that is long gone. In fact, young generations today may have never seen or used one. It’s a technology that's probably alien to them.

William employs a bold style of painting, using layering to create texture to create deliberate imperfections and with great results. His attention to detail is also incredible. Choosing the correct type of HB pencil that might have been used to wind such a mix tape tight was imperative. This print has been Cruise Scanned to capture the texture and its amazing imperfections.
