Gone Bustin' (Large)

This thought provoking, striking and contemporary limited-edition artwork by Whatshisname forms part of his Gone Series. Here, the artist explores visions of his childhood heroes who re-enter the contemporary conscious in fleeting moments of nostalgia. Perfectly capturing the character's silhouette and aura whilst remaining obscured, this simple yet impactful artwork by Whatshisname reflects his aim of conveying "our childhood heroes [reaching] out to us with an extended hand and saying, 'Hello, I’m still here, do you remember me?' or if those are fading memories, they are saying goodbye.

In “Gone, Bustin’”, the artist references one of the most iconic moves from the mid-80s'. Having vivid memories of watching this movie as a child with his family, Whatshisname still remembers the excitement and scares from the film. As a very visual child, he paid a lot of attention to symbols, and this was one of his favourites! The critically acclaimed 1984 film, Ghostbusters, is an American supernatural comedy film that became a cultural phenomenon as the second highest-grossing film of that year. Mounted and framed this elegant and touching piece is the perfect way to add a sophisticated touch of cinematic history to your home.

This piece is Flatbed Giclée Print on Moulin 300 gsm Paper. This piece is also available in a medium set and a large set.
