Gone I am- Medium

As iconic today as he was in his first appearance in 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back' (1980), Yoda is known for his unusual alien form, deceptively feeble appearance, and funny way of talking. It is these characteristics and more that make him unforgettable in the artist's opinion and he notes that the character of Yoda reminds him of "good times sitting too close to the television". 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 Yoda.

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."
