Gone Home - Large
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 and Autumn 2022 sees mysterious artist Whathisname add to his renowned Gone Series with well-known and loved characters from some of our favourite sci-fi films, including E.T.
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."
