Richard Berner is a Brighton based illustrator, whose work draws inspiration from a colourful array of cultural iconography from Star Wars to Disney, Brighton landmarks to cult celebrities, Berner creates illustrations bursting with imagination and eccentricity. With a flare for fine art technique, all of Berner’s ink drawings are brought to life with colour and texture, often applying paint drips and splatters, both before and after the print making process. ‘Proud Trooper’ is a re release of a classic print, updated in a fresh, new palette. An image of a Storm Trooper helmet sits at the centre of the print, painted in a rainbow spectrum of bright colours. The edges of the helmet have been smudged and left to run, creating a dynamic texture and a sense of art as process in abstract expressionist style. Bright, bold and beautiful, ‘Proud Trooper’ is a stunning work of contemporary art.
