James Rizzi (1950-2011) - A Lot Of Fun For City Kids · 3D Silkscreen

Here we have a superb large piece of Pop Art by the American artist James Rizzi 1950-2011. "A Lot Of Fun For City Kids” Dated 1990 Original Hand signed in Pencil Numbered 155 / 350 Image Size 91.6cm x 66cm Frame Size 77.5cm x 107cm The full sheet size 102cm x 72cm Please consider the Photo's of the actual Artwork as part of the description. Please note that there sometimes can be a slight colour variation from Photo to actual art work James Rizzi studied Fine Arts at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. He came up with the idea of 3D multiples now mostly associated with his name when, having taken classes in painting, printmaking and sculpturing, he had to hand in grade work for all three subjects, but only had time for doing one. So he created an etching, printed it twice, hand coloured it, and mounted parts of the one print on top of the other, using wire as a means of adding depth. Having received good grades from all three teachers, he stuck with the idea and developed it further. Later, he married Gaby Hamill, a fashion designer. They later divorced. James Rizzi never had any children of his own, but has a goddaughter Georgia Rae Pai Foster, daughter of Emrie Brooke Foster. Rizzi was most famous for his 3D artwork, "especially the large, elaborate prints and teeming anthropomorphic cityscapes. His merry maximalism and delight in delirious detail and elaborate minutiae created a true art brand, a trademark style as recognizable as any in the world." Late in life, he returned to painting. His "latest paintings combine his Picasso meets Hanna-Barbera drawing style with an increasingly chromatic palette and a complex graphic structure that simultaneously evokes cubism and the most sophisticated Amerindian friezes. This is a very impressive painting which would grace any wall in your home. In good condition for its age. Please take a look at all images as these form part of the description. The frame is a gift no compensation given if damaged in transit. Postage via UPS or DHL Please note there are duties to be paid before delivery can take place. Will be professionally wrapped using quality materials.
