Ken Done — Opera House

$6,500.00

Artist: Ken Done
Medium: Watercolour and oil crayon on paper
Made: 1998
Framed: Slim gold leaf moulding, deep cream mat, glass
Dimensions: Frame 60 x 60 cm, image 35 x 25 cm
Quantity: One only

Condition: Excellent
No foxing, no fading, no mat burn. Paper clean and flat, colours at full strength.

Watercolour laid down in that unmistakable harbour blue with oil crayon worked over it — the Opera House sails reduced to three triangles, the bridge to a row of black and white teeth, and behind them the city towers rising over Circular Quay in hatched coloured line. Ken Done is the artist who put Sydney on the world's postcards and turned the harbour into a brand, and this is the subject he's known for.

The two mediums do different jobs and you can see both. The watercolour pools and bleeds at the edges of the sails and the water, while the crayon sits up on the surface with real texture and a visible direction to every stroke.
