Seen as something of an illustrative departure for the widely regarded contemporary figurative artist, Birmingham born-and-bred graffiti-turned-photorealist art exponent, Temper has recently shifted the focus of his hitherto compositional ways/wiles/charms from the aforementioned, and instead towards a more calculated illustrative gamble. The type of calculus championed by the likes of a certain da Vinci, no less; as we pore over the best-selling Temper’s brand new 2018 release. Entitled ‘Messages from a Nameless Galaxy’ (and lifted from the bigger portfolio picture, ‘Out of Darkness’), this mathematically symbolic and scientifically interwoven limited edition reveal has the master’s name and graphical style written (large) all over it. And rather than shying away from such comparisons, your friend and ours, Temper has wholly embraced Leonardo’s visual legacy to afford us all this hand-signed giclee on boxed canvas study. Get it while you can, as with a mere 95 examples in the offing, they’ll soon be snaffled by keen buyers, for sure.
