The seamless, computer-generated compositions of Fuseli Tribute I and Fuseli Tribute II are a homage to the Swiss romantic painter Henry Fuseli. The prints are a montage of figures from Fuseli’s work combined with Andrew McLeod’s own witty drawings. McLeod transplants the heroes and heroines, gods and monsters that populate Fuseli’s paintings into a glowing space.In Tribute I, he arranges the figures in a tiered architectural structure. This cosmic apartment block, inhabited by a pantheon of cavorting, leaping and swooning gods, comes complete with pot plants and an oriental rug. For Tribute II, gravity has been switched off and the figures swirl and tumble against the stars. A towering telegraph pole, that urban symbol of light and communication, links the two halves of the diptych.See more detail about this artwork
