"One Small Step" is undoubtedly Martin Whatson's most beloved image.
The work shows a moon landing; the astronaut planting a flag; covered with Martin's signature, colorful calligraphic stencils, words and various symbols.
This is a large, original canvas work (50
inches x 52 inches), it has been stretched onto a white oak stretcher and has been framed to true museum standard at a cost of $2200.
The work will arrive ready to hang immediately..
This work is an absolute tour du force; Martin Whatson is truly a one of a kind artist.
Whatson is the true definition of “Often imitated, never duplicated; that IS Martin.
Over the past twenty years there have been countless “street artists” riding “the Banksy train”, shall we say.
Then you have Martin Whatson; hailing from Oslo, Norway; Whatson burst onto the “Street Art” scene and dare I say— not since Banksy was there an artist that was so stylistically different than anything the art world had seen prior.
Whatson’s signature motif is to place the subject of his works in the forefront (usually in black and white or a gray hue), against a backdrop of his signature, brightly colored calligraphic words, symbols and phrases.
This method creates a sharp and distinctive contrast between the subject in the foreground and Martin’s signature graffiti im the background.
There is simply no other artist in the street art/ graffiti realm that does what Martin does.
Whatson is possibly the most talented, enigmatic as well as dynamic working street artist of our time.
”One Small Step” is Whatson’s most sought after image.
At the peak of market prices a hand finished screen print of this image was achieving five figures on the secondary market (if you could get your hands on one).
The work is signed, titled and dated en verso.
The work is also signed and dated front, bottom, right.
If you are reading this description, you most likely understand this image is often considered Martin Whatson's pivotal work.
An extremely hard to find, unique piece, from an edition of only two.
An absolutely stunning tour du force with all of the signature, stylistic motifs that have made Martin Whatson one of the most beloved modern day street artists the world over as well as one of the brightest stars in the ”Ultra Contemporary Art" galaxy.
This work will look absolutely stunning wherever it is it is placed as can be illustrated by the ELEVEN pictures of the actual work we have added.
