Selfie ( A/P ) By JBOY
20" x 20" in
(50 x 50 cm)
Dimensions: 50 x 50 cm signed
Paper: 250 gsm / GF Smith Peregrina Majestic Real Silver
This 50 x 50 centimetre limited edition artwork by JBOY is a two-color hand-pulled screen print with just 30 artist proofs made. The artwork creates a powerful contrast between the idealism of childhood and the consumerism of today. The main character, a chic lady wearing a polka-dot dress, is holding a fan of cash and a selfie stick—symbols of modern consumerism and the quest for appearance. At her side, a child clothed in darker tones gazes up at her, creating a contrast that invokes issues of influence and the transfer of cultural ideals between generations. The little, bow-tie-wearing dog provides a playful touch, yet underlines the notion of fashion and attractiveness.
The piece's depth and visual impact are increased by the two-color screen printing process, which also makes the piece's striking contrast between bright and dark sections stand out. This piece, which is a signed limited edition of just 30, exemplifies JBOY's talent at using urban art to convey incisive social criticism. Each item in the series is slightly unique due to the hand-pulled screen printing technique, which adds a layer of artistry and demonstrates the artist's commitment to producing collectible, thought-provoking art.

About JBOY
I am JBOY. A fairly (un)known visual artist from London and sharing my ideas helps calm my hyperactive mind. Some are good, some are bad.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey goes.
My Inspiration comes from many places and mostly turns up at the most inconvenient time. I spent a lot of time when young stealing Gary Larson books from the library (i took them back) and then later i studied (looked at pictures) Guy Billout at art school.
Obviously at some point i accidentally stumbled into the urban art scene and have been trying to escape it ever since, but it keeps dragging me back in like a henry the hoover. Basically several sources of inspiration have led me down a very eclectic mix of styles and ideas. I just go with what feels right for the picture.
Not everything even works well visually and only ideas that i am 100% happy with are shown. A lot gets trashed (Most things). I like to do visual commentaries on anything i feel strongly about and i try to get my message across in a light hearted way.
I have a big arts background as i said already, but my proudest claim to fame is being taught technical drawing by Timmy Mallett's uncle at age 9, but things have probably gotten progressively worse ever since.
Anonymity is a choice, not for any mystical reason, but because it’s a preference. Great care and pride are taken in the delivery of work, and people who are nice are looked after.
