“Kill The Rich” (Joker)

About this piece: Unique high grade brushed aluminium artwork with a hand varnished finish presented in a matt black wood frame.

The artwork draws inspiration from the acclaimed 2019 Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix and the Frank Sinatra song “Send In The Clowns,” a notable feature of the movie. The film, set in 1981 and loosely based on DC Comics characters, chronicles the journey of Arthur Fleck, a failed clown and aspiring stand-up comic whose descent into mental illness and nihilism sparks a violent countercultural revolution against the wealthy in a decaying Gotham City. The artwork itself presents a “light” versus “dark” split screen scenario, juxtaposing a vintage advertisement portraying carefree clowns fooling around with the caption “Send in the clowns” against a much darker alternative depiction of the Joker “sending in the clowns” to incite the angry crowds to “kill The Rich.” This compelling scene is framed by a detailed map of Gotham City, showcasing landmarks such as the Arkham Asylum and Wayne Manor.

Each part of this unique artwork is hand crafted from several grades of bespoke aluminum. The artwork is on a high grade brushed aluminium plate with a flawless high gloss finish. It is mounted on bespoke brushed anodised aluminium with a precision machined aluminum finishing strip. ( Anodised aluminium is the same material as your i-phone which undergoes an electrolytic process to colour and harden the material to make it more resistant to scratches and fingerprints. )
