Let Down
20" x 20" in
(50 x 50 cm)
Dimensions: 50 x 50 cm with 15 mm white border - signed - limited Edition
Paper: Hahnemuehle German Etching 310gsm (matt textured)
Edition: 32/50
Let Down is the number 32 of 50 prints of this limited edition print, which is 50 × 50 cm in size. JBOY, which was made in reaction to the Brexit decision in the United Kingdom, effectively conveys the sense of disillusionment and apprehension about the prospects of the next generation. A young girl wearing a Union Jack clothing stands in the centre, her head bent, conveying a sense of desolation and abandonment. The image's emotional intensity and simplicity convey the artist's displeasure with the choices that have affected the country's destiny.
JBOY highlights in his piece description how the artwork has become more relevant with time, particularly in light of the UK elections of 2024. He highlights how we have failed as a society to come together and work towards a common destiny, a concept that is aptly captured by the girl's hopeless expression. The fine art print attempts to maintain the depth and paint-like texture of the original image by using premium German Etching Paper. This artwork makes a strong and enduring message on the influence of political decisions on generations because of the archival-quality inks that were utilised to create it.

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.
