Gone, Home I
Released the same year as the artist was born, the film 'E.T.' remains an intimate favourite of Whatshisname as well as a global classic. The lack of adult presence in the film made it that much more heart-warming and relatable to a young audience such as the artist, and he remembers feeling deeply moved by the innocence, kindness, and friendliness of the alien and Elliot. The iconic character "stayed with me for a very long time" the artist told us.
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."
March 2023 saw Whatshisname take his artwork to new heights as we launched his first exhibition into space! The interactive exhibition featured a selection of new and acclaimed pieces that celebrate the breadth of the boundary pushing artist - including this artwork!
Mounted in a bespoke charcoal pine and spruce frame, this elegant and touching piece is the perfect way to add a sophisticated touch of cinematic history to your home. Discover more about the mysteriously named artist or alternatively shop his full portfolio.
