Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the pigments within the resin are much brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are a few light surface scratches scattered in places to the surface of the plexi and along the side edges and a few scattered media accretions in places throughout. There is some cracking to some of the paint within the pexi, inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process.
