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.
Each Fine Art Print is titled, numbered and signed in Ketna’s handwriting. 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)
All Prints are made at the most accredited and reputable Printing studios in London, Singapore or New Delhi, using the best quality fine art archival paper available.
The studio meticulously keeps account of each numbered print, including when and who it was sold to, so there is no chance of duplication.
Each Fine Art Paper Print comes in an edition of 50, so for the three sizes, the total prints ever made will be 150.
Each Metal Print comes in an edition of 25, so for the three sizes, the total prints ever made will be 75.
Each Acrylic Print comes in an edition of 10, so for the three sizes, the total prints ever made will be 30.
For each composition, there are up to 5 Artists Proofs for colour and production quality checks. The total edition for each artwork is therefore 260.
Each Print is made to order. Please allow 10 working days for delivery.
