After purchasing Sexy (Sieff), 2019, a collector commissioned me to make a tryptch out of the piece, adding the words “as” and “hell”.
I created a couple different palette ideas, but we went with print colors: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.
Since the magenta bougainvillea image is so dramatic, I chose to use a George Condo piece that was a little quieter for the background of the ‘a’ and ‘s’.
Although the yellow is bold, it doesn’t have as much detail as the first two images of the tryptch. I decided to get a little busier with the background image and selected a Damien Hirst butterfly piece.
