"Golden Vision" is a vibrant pop art portrait of the iconic musician John Lennon, created by Martin Osner using colour ink and watercolour paint. The piece captures the brilliance of Lennon's talent, with a standout feature being the 18-karat gold-plated glasses sculpted by Simon Shone.
The golden glasses not only highlight Lennon's iconic style but also symbolise the timeless and enduring impact of his music and vision. The artwork celebrates Lennon's creative genius and his lasting influence on music and culture. Imagine that!
Artist Collaboration: Simon Shone and Martin Osner's collaboration under "African Art Fusion" celebrates artistic creativity and cultural heritage, merging their distinct talents to create a diverse collection featuring bushveld landscapes, iconic places like Table Mountain, vibrant urban scenes, and abstract art. As personal friends of faith, they share a mutual appreciation for each other's art, resulting in a unique fusion of Simon's expertise as a master goldsmith, craftsman, and sculptor and Martin's blend of traditional painting with fine art photography. Their works, which sometimes involve collaborative processes and independent creations, are showcased at their exclusive gallery in the Clock Tower at the famous Waterfront district in Cape Town, highlighting the richness of African art and offering a unique fusion of sculpture and visual storytelling.
