This artwork, Groundhog Day, is inspired by the classic film where the protagonist relives the same day, seeking an escape—a metaphor for breaking free from life’s repetitive patterns and illusions. Growing up in Kenya, I fell in love with sci-fi through Space 1999, a fascination that has shaped my art. Here, I depict a man watching TV, observing a woman asleep with another TV beside her, representing layers of programs within programs. Drawing on 70s comic book aesthetics and influenced by The Matrix, this piece questions the nature of reality and explores Hindu concepts like Maya, or cosmic illusion. It reflects how our consciousness experiments with different "avatars" to gain wisdom and transcend the matrix, inviting viewers to ponder what lies beyond the everyday facade.

Archival Art Paper Print (unframed; delivered rolled up in a poster tube)
Depending on each composition’s ‘personality’, colour spectrum and destined geographical location, the Artwork is printed either as a C-Type print on Fuji gloss paper or as a Giclee print on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper. (For humid countries e.g Singapore, C-type Fuji paper is advised as it is does not let moisture and mould through)
Acrylic Screen Prints: Back printed on glossy acrylic glass, and come with a wooden frame.
Our acrylic prints are no less than 5 mm thick and are finished with a thick black premium foil on the back. This protects the print and gives extra depth and colour brilliance to the end result. In addition, our acrylic prints are made from 70% recycled acrylic.
HD Metal Prints: Printed on aluminium
HD Metal consists of a thin aluminium plate with a special coating on top. We then use a unique dye sublimation technique to apply the artwork onto it. The result is a phenomenally razor sharp resolution which makes the overall look very contemporary and vibrant. The material we use is scratch-resistant and waterproof so it can be used for outdoor use too. The high-gloss version is the successor of plexiglass prints however it is lighter, stronger and has a luscious colour spectrum! HD Metal beautifully juxtaposes the classic and traditional with state of the art technology, resulting in frameless, shiny Art that looks timeless as it 'floats' off the wall.
Both Acrylic and Metal Prints are always supplied with a free prefitted hanging system with spacer, so ready to hang immediately. All you need is a screw in the wall, and they will hang firm and flat against the wall.
