This captivating pair of original 1980s photo collages captures the stoic dignity of the British Guards at St. James's Palace through a unique, avant-garde lens. Created in 1985 and signed by the artist "Mario," these pieces utilize a "joiner" technique popularized by David Hockney, layering multiple photographic prints to create a rhythmic, Cubist-inspired reconstruction of the subject. The intentional interplay of slight shifts in alignment and lighting lends a dynamic, postmodern edge to the traditional military regalia, beautifully bridging the gap between historical iconography and late-20th-century artistic innovation.
Presented in their original minimalist wood frames, these works are ideal for an executive study, a curated library, or as a sophisticated narrative addition to a maximalist gallery wall. Each framed piece measures 17" wide by 1.25" deep and stands 29" tall. They remain in great vintage condition, exhibiting minor scuffs to the frames and a gentle, age-appropriate patina to the matting that reinforces their authentic 1985 provenance. This rare set offers a distinctive conversation piece for any discerning collector of unique postmodern art. Acquire this pair today to bring a touch of London’s royal heritage to your collection.
