Description

Several of Steadman’s classic methods come into play in this diverse little group of characters. The body of the main creature is collage, created using a photo copy, the original of which has been moved across the plate during the scanning process distorting it beyond recognition of its original form. The freehand line work gives the characters life and humour. Steadman’s training as a radar operator at De Havilland Aircraft Factory, where he learned technical drawing, influences the use of a compass for the floating eyes. Finally the shading has been achieved using the dirty water from his paint washing pot, as much to smudge the ink already on the page, as to bring a darker hue. The central figure is Hunteresque with his cigarette hanging loosely from his mouth. 1997 Ink and collage on paper 4683 by 4847 png
