Episodical, 2013

Darren Coffield was born in London in 1969 and studied at Goldsmiths College, Camberwell School of Art and the Slade School of Art in London. He has exhibited widely in the company of many leading artists including Damien Hirst, Howard Hodgkin, Patrick Caulfield and Gilbert and George at venues ranging from the Courtauld Institute, Somerset House to Voloshin Museum, Crimea. Titled Episodical, the artwork features Christopher Reeve in his iconic role as Superman. In Coffield's signature style, he subverts the concept of celebrity by inverting the subject's features. This print relates to a painting of the same title that was chosen for the prestigious John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize in 2010.
