Inverted Tulipbook 28

Acrylic paint on Financial Times Paper, 2013

£3,600 (inc VAT)

The artist’s interest in the tulip flower, mirrors our education programme. It is used as a symbol of commodities, stock inflation, and the birth of global trade. As well as an aesthetic foil for his psychedelic painting style. The Tulipbook in the title refers to the catalogue of delicate coloured engravings that were made to help sell the tulip stock. These were the drawings he based his original tulip images on.
