His rise within the contemporary art world has been meteoric, becoming the first artist to be nominated for the Archibald Prize with a portrait created entirely out of stencils. Recently winning the Holding Redlich PEople’s Choice Award in the 2017 Salon de Refuses for this portrait of artist and social commentator Ben Quilty, Cornish describes his reasoning behind his selection of sitter: ‘Because he is artistically and personally, somebody that i have an enormous amount of respect for… using his high profile as an artist to speak out for those who have no voice.’ This collectable limited edition print is created with the finest museum quality archival materials and is hand signed by the artist. It is a limited edition of 99 and it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the publisher so that you can document your collection. This iconic portrait is sure to bolster any collection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eELK Luke CORNISH (1979 - )\u003cbr\u003e'Ben (Ben Quilty)'\u003cbr\u003earchival pigment print on paper\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImage Size\u003c\/i\u003e: 100 x 66 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions\u003c\/i\u003e: 112 x 73 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigned\u003c\/i\u003e: signed, titled and numbered in margin\u003cbr\u003eComes with Letter of Provenance\u003cbr\u003eElegance Velvet 310gsm Acid Free Archival Rag Paper.\r\n\u003cbr\u003eAvailability: in stock\u003cbr\u003eCondition:\u003cstrong\u003eAs New:\u003c\/strong\u003e  The work of art is in the same immaculate condition as when it was created.
