Brit punk artist Mark Sloper has launched a commemorative collection of special works to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The artist known as Illuminati Neon has created the £2million works which will be the biggest art tribute to Her Royal Highness The Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
Mark became globally recognised after HRH The Queen saw her painting and asked that her punk portrait changed as she didn’t like the tattoo on her neck. The artist who regularly exhibits at London’s Saatchi Gallery famously created the image of Her Majesty with blue hair, a nose ring and the loveheart inking. The monarch, 95, found the artwork ‘hilarious’ but asked for the tattoo of husband Philip’s name to be altered to show her royal crest.
For the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Mark has produced forty specially designed original ‘Queens’ and a 500 limited edition exclusive print run. The UK’s biggest group of high street galleries, Castle Fine Art, has agreed to proudly display a neon original queen in forty of their windows over the platinum weekend to mark the once in a lifetime event.
