This simple graphic piece by artist Simon Claridge is of an iconic image instantly recognisable to millions.
It is an image of one of the most famous actresses of all time, Audrey Hepburn, who was and remains to be seen as an icon of film and fashion during the 20th Century.
This limited edition, on canvas, piece is Simon Claridge's modern take on the well known 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' picture of Hepburn as Holly Golightly in her legendary little black Givenchy dress.
This beautiful limited edition on canvas features Hollywood legend Audrey Hepburn in a very familiar pose, facing the 'camera' straight on, in this artwork.
Simon Claridge is adept at recreating these celebrities in their iconic poses, by translating them into amazing limited edition canvas prints.
This is artist Simon Claridge's second limited edition on canvas of Audrey Hepburn - the first being named simply: 'The Diamond Dust Collection - Hepburn.'
This artwork is more of a figurative composition with her body in view and her head turned away from the 'camera' & she is in her often seen sunglasses.
Somehow Audrey Hepburn displays poise, elegance and innocence all within one pose & the artist perfectly catches the moment in paint form with this new limited edition.
Creating some of the most iconic faces of the twentieth century is Claridge's specialty.
Despite seeing many interpretations of this nature throughout the years, Claridge manages to make his work feel fresh and current and view the characters with new eyes and a unique outlook.
Depicting Audrey Hepburn in greys, blacks and whites completely strips back the distraction of colour and allows us to see the true beauty that lies within.
You, the viewer, get a real sense of the person rather than the ambience of carnival which can sometimes happen when colour is introduced.
This is a gorgeous rendition of the much loved actress and is a real credit to the new series of work by Claridge.
