Hand Numbered Limited Edition Screen Print (36" x 24")
Mint Rolled; Artist Kilian Eng
Bottleneck Galleries, 2016
Focusing on the dreamy landscapes around Bruce Dern's ailing botanist, Kilian Eng's depiction of lonely life in outer space via this Limited Edition Screen Print is picture perfect. Brilliantly mirroring and capturing the vast isolation within the film, Eng manages to even outdo the terrific original posters that came before. This unused and mint screen print has been Hand Numbered 55/125 in pencil in the lower right corner. Through creative vision and original inspiration, Alternative Art in the form of Limited Edition Screen and Giclee Prints has vastly become a big part of the movie poster collecting industry amongst artists, fans, and galleries. With some starting as early as the 2000s, companies like Mondo, Spoke Art Gallery, Bottleneck Galleries, Vice Press, Mad Duck Posters, Skuzzles, and more have procured some of the most talented artists in the world to create lush and loving fan-desired art that was never available before. What began as a very small alternative for those seeking something unique from their favorite film has turned into a major industry where the best posters can sell out in a matter of minutes. Renowned names like Drew Struzan, Roger Kastel, Laurent Durieux, Tyler Stout, Olly Moss, Ken Taylor, Killian Eng, Mark "Jock" Simpson, Steve Chorney and so many others have shown there is indeed demand for amazing art that is sometimes as good as or even better than the original posters from a film.
The print is in mint condition showing no signs of being used or displayed. It shows only the most minimal signs of handling.
Visual effects genius Douglas Trumbull made his directing debut with this touching sci-fi eco-fable, in which a spacefaring botanist (Bruce Dern) goes rogue to defend the last of Earth's plant life from destruction.
Estimate: $200 - 400
