Trafford Parsons’ extraordinary and long spanning career has made its mark on the art world. Avowedly anti establishment, Parsons work mines popular culture, from B movies to B sides, and brings an energetic street art aesthetic to the familiar icons that haunt his work. ‘R2D2 Blue Duo’ depicts a dual image of the well loved droid, each in varying tones of blue and white. Parsons has masterfully drawn from a range of styles and approaches magically capturing the retro feel of the 1970s, ‘R2D2 Blue Duo’ has overtones of Warhol esque print repetition, while injecting a little of the contemporary with spray can techniques. Parsons has used the iconic to create his own icon in the making a smart, modern piece with boundless visual appeal and strong conceptual power. The print is signed and numbered by the artist.
