Edition

Edition of 45

This striking enamel screen print captures Marilyn Monroe in an iconic glamorous pose, rendered in luminous silver tones against rich black Somerset paper. Young employs his signature diamond dust technique, which catches and reflects light to create an ethereal, shimmering surface that transforms the image depending on viewing angle. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the sculptural qualities of Monroe's features while the glittering medium adds a contemporary edge to this timeless Hollywood icon. The contrast between the deep black paper and brilliant silver creates a dramatic visual impact that commands attention. Russell Young's work bridges pop art legacy with modern luxury aesthetics, making pieces like this highly sought after by contemporary collectors. His distinctive diamond dust application elevates screen printing into something precious and tactile, blurring boundaries between fine art and glamour. This 2011 work represents Young's mature period, when his exploration of celebrity iconography had firmly established him in major collections worldwide. The intimate scale makes it ideal for sophisticated residential or corporate settings. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
