2006 Alex Ross painting; gouache on board; Original Art to Lithograph; 14" x 21"
original art to 2006 Upper Deck Entertainment lithograph produced in both canvas and paper editionUpper Deck Entertainment commissioned Alex Ross to create an original painting of Spider-Man and Spider-Woman. The painting was used to publish a run of collector's art, which was available in both litho and giclee formats to connoisseurs of the comic-art form in 2006. These reproductions sold for hundreds of dollars on the collectibles market and the image has gone on to hold an iconic place in superhero lore. Alex Ross has become one of the most-popular illustrators of the Modern Era of comics due to his photorealistic renderings of tried-and-true comic-book tropes, along with his deep love and knowledge of the history of the genre.
We are very happy to offer the original painted artwork to our clients. This is a unique and stunning Ross piece that is sure to get fans of modern-comic-book art salivating. The powerful sense of motion and depth in this work is truly a testament to the ever-shrinking line that divides comic-book art from fine art. This is a masterpiece that would make a strong impression on any collector's wall or in their portfolio.
