Next up is Paul Insect’s Star Eyes, from a series of 10 uniquely coloured tray-framed aluminium works. The aluminium base was first sprayed with 12 layers of spray paint, upon which a special paint used for 50's style American Hot Rod cars was thickly applied. This paint contains multi-coloured flakes of mica which endow the work with its sparkly appearance. The image was then screen printed by the same master printer who did most of Warhol’s early works. Finally, the work was varnished to protect it without reducing the dazzling effect, which sadly cannot be adequately portrayed by computer imagery, you’ll just have to trust us on that.
