Wee Warrior With Targe
This artwork is featured in Billy’s new book ‘The Accidental Artist’.
The world-famous musician and comedian’s iconic artworks have no less impact than one of his legendary comedy sketches, with his humour communicated through shapes and lines rather than words. Billy’s art is charmingly simplistic, his faceless figures possess an extraordinary self-awareness and humanity. Devoid of emotion or expression, their anonymity opens them up to individual interpretation, creating a unique bond with the viewer. Billy's initial works were in black and white, but in recent years, he has embraced colour, adding: “There’s more colour in the collection than before. I was looking at the drawings and sometimes they were crying out for colour and I didn’t know why.”
This is Billy’s portrait of a fighter with a Scottish shield, a targe. “He should have a sword in that hand. That doesn't matter. He's a real warrior... he punches people. I'm very fond of it. It's a friendly fellow.”
In his unmistakeable style, Connolly reflects both his Scottish background and his current life in Florida, where he creates these fantastic pieces. With the comic’s brilliant sense of humour, this collection will resonate even more deeply with collectors given the personal sentiment of this release – the artworks see Connolly recalling his Glasgow childhood, living in the Scottish countryside and a bit of Scots history alongside an insight into his favourite hobby, fishing, as practiced near his Florida home. The flooring of dynamic colours intertwines with Connolly’s famous line work, allowing his world-renowned figurative artworks to take on new life and meaning.
Hand-signed by The Big Yin himself, ‘Wee Warrior With Targe’ will add a bold and humorous touch of musical and comedic history to your home. This piece is a Double Hit Flatbed Giclée Print on 100% Cotton Aquarelle Arches - Torchon 300gsm displayed on 2mm Float Glass.
This piece can also be purchased as part of an unframed or framed set.
