Transistor Radio print by Patrick Edgeley

Posted on | Leave a comment

Transistor-radioFULL

This Transistor Radio print by Patrick Edgeley features a great retro subject matter given a stylishly retro treatment.

We've featured his work before, under his studio name Anti Graphic, with (of course) an equally retro subject matter, vintage kitchenware. This print is executed in a lively 1950s/60s style which reminds me of the work of poster artists of that period, such as Royston Cooper. 

A reasonable investment too, as this limited edition silkscreen print costs £60.

Chocolate Love – Robert Indiana’s artwork in chocolate

Posted on | Leave a comment

Indiana chocoSince its creation in the mid-sixties, Robert Indiana's Love artwork has appeared in many forms and inspired countless others. This could be the most popular yet – 'Chocolate Love', a recreation of the work in cocoa. 

Taking the form of the instantly recognisable stacked letters with slanting 'O', this miniature work of art measures 10cm square and is made from solid dark chocolate, covered in edible gold dust. 

At £7.50, it's probably the most affordable version of the artwork too – though is probably too tasty to be around for long.
