Description

A distinguishing feature of this painting is the engagement of Alexis with the viewer, which the artist rarely depicts. Seemingly startled mid-way through removing his rugby shirt, he appears as a dream like figure, who's sultry and sensual expression is very alluring.

Whilst in London, the artist returned to observe and photograph the formally dressed soldiers of the Queen's Guard.

Closely behind Alexis, and rendered in exquisitely fine detail, stands a handsome Kings Trooper. United by forms of coloured piping, the uniforms dramatically contrast the casual and formal. The expressions of their respective faces perfectly conveying an informal and formal attitude.

A slither of a mysterious and dark doorway is an important visual balance to the composition and deftly places the King's Trooper in his secluded respite in the detailed stone portico which forms the backdrop of the painting.

About Limited Edition Canvases

These are our most collectable editions.

All available Edition Canvases are in an edition of three with two artist's proofs. They are hand-signed and numbered by Ross Watson on the reverse (non-image) side of the canvas. Your preferred edition number to purchase can be selected from the top menu.

An Artist's Proof is the same quality as the editions numbered 1-3, and is the first print produced when colour and quality is perfected. Each canvas is of equal quality and value.

Edition Canvases are printed with archival inks on the world's leading archival canvas: Hahnemühle Daguerre.

Use of glass in framing is optional, eliminating potential of reflections when viewing your canvas.

The sizes provided are the unframed image size. The canvases are printed with a generous white border and we recommend they be placed on a wooden stretcher before adding a decorative frame.
