Anthea Hamilton
Thirteen Storey Wavey Boot (2017)


Screen print
89 x 47 cm [35 x 18.5 inches]
Edition of 40, signed and numbered.


 

About the work

For the Whitechapel Gallery, Anthea Hamilton has generously created a new silkscreen print to accompany the exhibition Eduardo Paolozzi, 16 February – 14 May 2017.

The edition uses a motif that recurs regularly in the artist’s work; a two dimensional ‘wavey boot’. Previously manifested in a wide range of material; alabaster, walnut, ceramic, the boot is always at 1:1 scale; a size 6 boot.

Hamilton’s edition, entitled Thirteen Storey Wavey Boot is a proposal drawing for an unlikely apartment building, Made as a silkscreen print, the boot sits in high relief, two dimensional and flat, like many of Hamilton’s sculptures. The image is built from precisely balanced muted colours and glossy details against a background of pure red to give an illusionistic depth that is both vertiginous and seductive.
