Falmouth University graduate and full time graphic designer Jake has turned his sharp graphic sensibilities towards print making. Using clean, hard lines, minimalist compositions and monochrome palettes, Jake has followed in the footsteps of pop art giant Andy Warhol, by translating the iconic into print, to create a cult classic. ‘Ray’ takes as its muse the legendary Ray Charles, his face reproduced in shades of black, white and grey and splashed all over with sky blue polka dots, for stunning contrast. The piece is rich with allusion, as traces of Warhol and Lichtenstein saturate the image but, most importantly, ‘Ray’ is visually arresting an icon in its own right.
