Conor Harrington head of state state of head reserve now, by 25127096 on Sept 18, 2017 16:42:03 GMT 1, A New Series of Paintings & Prints by Conor Harrington
Hungry Boy Books are proud to present an exciting new painting and print project by Conor Harrington “Head of State/ State of Head”.
Small in scale and intimate in subject matter this new series of paintings and prints stand in direct contrast to the large scale oil paintings and outdoor murals that Harrington is known for. As such we are offered a glimpse into the daily practices and experiments of Harrington's continuing painting output, with each painting bearing the date it has been made as part of the title.
The series is divided in half, with five blue paintings and five red, the traditional colours of opposing political parties, gang culture, and the corners of boxing rings. Using colour to symbolise tribalism and allegiances, and through a variety of processes including wiping, blurring and over-painting, Harrington employs the traditional head format as a motif to subvert ideas of power and status.
From the 10 paintings a suite of 10 prints have been made to form the print boxset. All boxes also contain a hardback book cataloguing the series. See images below with more info about how to register your interest.

£4800 without delivery is retail For the print set not sure how much the painting will be.

Conor Harrington head of state state of head reserve now, by thetruecubsfan on Sept 18, 2017 20:22:35 GMT 1, Will happily go for the book, but these images don't do it for me. Especially following his last series. Any news on if the book is limited edition? I'll be offline from Thursday to Saturday night for some holidays.

Conor Harrington head of state state of head reserve now, by CAL on Sept 18, 2017 20:34:18 GMT 1, yeah... tad boring having relatively 10 prints of the same image displayed on one wall. I would rather have 2, one blue and one red, the impact would be much better IMO

Hahaha definitely is. Maybe this would have been better as a flip book. I could definitely see something like this being very cool on the wall at a show, to show everyone the progression but they don't seem to me like something that would go on a wall.
