John Wick" Celebrity Portrait By Chris Tutty

"Chris Tutty, a celebrity portrait artist celebrated for his mastery of airbrush techniques, oil, acrylic, and raised mediums, unveils his latest masterpiece: a captivating portrayal of the iconic John Wick, brought to life by the incomparable Keanu Reeves.

Standing tall at 30 by 40 inches, this vibrant canvas pulsates with energy, capturing the essence of the enigmatic assassin amidst a kaleidoscope of purple, pink, and red hues. Against a backdrop reminiscent of a grunge Japanese anime skyline of Los Angeles, the silhouette of the cityscape sets the stage for a thrilling narrative.

At the forefront of this electrifying scene, the title 'John Wick' emerges in bold red, casting a striking contrast against a blue drop shadow that echoes the depth of the night. Yet, it is the mysterious billowing of the billboard beneath that commands attention, proudly proclaiming 'Baba Yaga'—the whispered moniker that strikes fear into the hearts of Wick's adversaries, an homage to his legend as the Boogeyman.

As the gaze traverses the canvas, the visage of John Wick emerges, larger than life in a commanding portrait that captures the intensity of his gaze and the determination etched upon his features. Yet, juxtaposed against this formidable figure stands a smaller, more vulnerable iteration of Wick, bearing the scars of battle, a testament to his resilience in the face of adversity.

And looming ominously behind him, a skeletal samurai, cloaked in the shadows of a hoodie, brandishes a sword—an inscrutable guardian or a harbinger of the challenges that lie ahead. With each stroke of Tutty's brush, a tale unfolds, weaving together elements of myth and modernity, strength and vulnerability, in a mesmerizing tribute to the legend of John Wick.

In this evocative composition, Chris Tutty invites viewers to embark on a journey into the heart of darkness, where the lines between hero and anti-hero blur, and the true essence of a legend is revealed."

ORIGINAL WORKS 

Each original painting is unique and a one-of-a-kind creation. A great amount of time and detail goes into each piece of art, from hand-painted brush strokes in acrylic and oil medium, to the unique art of airbrushing done with only the best of paints, Crea-tex Auto-Air Colors, and House of Kolors Automotive Paint. Aspects of geological layering, almost like sedimentary rock, are imparted with mixed mediums such as metallics, gold and silver flaking, the introduction of coppers and iron magnesium’s in fine powder as well as glass resins, pearls, and industrial candy coats as seen on high-end automobiles. Certain masterpieces also use elements of sculpture with molding paste, crackling, and organic material to highlight low and high points in the picture, creating a dimensional embossed image that leaps off the canvas.

ARTIST PROOFS

With the addition of all these materials and techniques in the original, you may ask, what does an Artist Proof look like and how does it differ from the original painting? Due to this unique style of artwork, normal prints are not even an option. An Artist Proof is painted in the same manner as an original, and all of the above techniques mentioned in the original are imparted in the Artist Proofs with one exception. Artist proofs are derived from the original image. The original is professionally photographed by Rob Ryan of Render DC prior to its completion. The artist proof file is digitally remastered with a spectrometer and color balanced to lead to the next step. It is then printed and stretched on canvas providing a mapping for the new proof. This is called an archival pigment print. The stretched canvas is then re-airbrushed in order to retain the true vibrant colors of the original. Molding paste, pearls, metal flakes, candies, and neon paints are incorporated, and then sealed with glass resins. The Artist Proof equals the Original. The Proof is of the same quality but has expressive variations. Essentially it is a new painting based on the Original. The price point of the Artist Proof can be marketed with substantial savings, thus providing the consumer access to a truly unique piece of art.

8 inch by 10 inch Dye-Sublimation Prints Limited Edition

Fine art photo printing on metal, or what is known as metal prints, is a relatively new industry. So what are metal prints? Simply put, metal prints are images printed on aluminum. But it is vastly more complicated than that. The secret is how the printing is done. Most photo prints are simply inkjet printers on a piece of canvas or other paper material. The print material fades, cannot be cleaned easily, and of course must be framed.

Fine art metal printing uses a technique called dye sublimation. Dye sublimation means that inks are turned into a vapor or gas before they turn into a liquid.

Dye sublimation is a digital print technology that allows the reproduction of full-color images on a variety of surfaces. Dye sublimation on hard surfaces is possible because the surfaces have been coated using an innovative manufacturing process that provides high-definition, durable photo panels that preserve images for generations. Instead of printing images directly on a surface, which may scratch easily, the image is infused into the coating to provide permanent protection and durability.
