“Souvenir” Queen Elizabeth II – by Louis Sidoli

About this piece: “This portrait of the Queen to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee was created using a vintage pictorial souvenir, by Olwen Hedley, celebrating The Queens Silver Jubilee, which was given to me in 1977. This also happens to be the original source material Andy Warhol used for his “Reigning Queens” portfolio of 1985 and also the image Jamie Reid’s used for the cover for Sex Pistols “God Save the Queen”. I have juxta positioned the image of The Queen with the chemical element symbol for Platinum taken from the “periodic table of elements”. Platinum is a precious metal and one of the most rare elements in the earths crust. Hence why it represents The Queens 70 years on the throne – a first for a British monarch ! “ (Louis Sidoli)

Louis’ Neon Art & Originals: Artist Statement:
“I was the first artist to combine portraiture with neon art. The inspiration came from both Andy Warhol’s 1970’s / 80’s ‘celebrity portraits’ and the work of neon artists such as Dan Flavin, Tracey Emin and Chris Bracey”.
