ANDY WARHOL
Original Oil on Boxed Canvas
“Warhol was an important part of my art education. At school, I copied his work and studied printmaking. The strength of character in his works is unforgettable. Alongside these other artists, he changed history.”
MARC MAROT DIGITAL ARTIST
“So much has been said and written about the lives of these artists that it seems perhaps a little pointless to add more words about them. I’d prefer to concentrate on the artist who created them: Scarlett Raven. “She’s been creating art since she was eight years old. As a teenager, she battled anxiety and depression, but her mother noticed that when Scarlett concentrated on her art, her demons faded into the background – and encouraged her to become the artist she is now.
“When Scarlett first proposed the eight portrait subjects, I was thrilled to see Basquiat and Warhol on the list. Back in 1985, when I was heading up the music publishing division of Island Records, I had lunch with both of them in New York. Faced with two geniuses, I had so little to say! “These are emotional works, honouring the gifts and comfort they gave Scarlett. I’m happy to say that I was able to stand back and let Scarlett’s paint do the talking.”
VINCENT VAN GOGH
“Van Gogh is why I paint. The emotion he reveals through his use of oil paint embodies everything that can’t be said. Extreme happiness and uncontrollable sadness...it breaks and mends my heart, again and again.”
