Lot Essay

Seated Figure was painted in 2008 and exhibited at the artist’s first pop-up exhibition held in a derelict shop on Calvert Avenue in Shoreditch. The figure appears serene and is seated in a meditative pose with one knee raised and eyes closed, set against a pre-printed backdrop of the Grand Canyon in Nevada. This early work is unusual for the artist and was the only one produced on a canvas with a pre-printed background due to the found nature of the support.
