This long awaited release by the queen of collage, Maria Rivans, is a 5 colour silkscreen with beautiful hand embellished silver leaf. This limited edition print is of an incredible original collage by the artist.‘Billie Ray’ is a brilliant Rivans style portrait of sultry American film and stage actress Lauren Bacall. The collage features an appropriated black and white head shot of the Hollywood star, and an elaborate headdress featuring a fascinating composition of vintage images. Cameras, leads, wires, tires, cranes, a Swiss army knife, nuts, bolts, TVs and a typewriter are all carefully collaged with staggering precision.“I think my work is humorous and frivolous when you look at it. But when you look at it more you realise it’s more philosophical”, said Maria Rivans in our recent interview.Discover more in our articleSuper Vision Bonnie and Clyde vs Maria Rivans
