"A Forest" is an 8.5" x 11" tribute to Robert Smith, the iconic lead singer of The Cure, and the haunting beauty of their music. This gel plate transfer with acrylic on cardstock captures Smith’s signature look—his stark white face, bold red lipstick, and dark eyeshadow that draws you into his deeply emotional eyes. His shirt is painted in a deep, monotone blue that contrasts dramatically with the grungy teal and yellow background, evoking the vibrant yet chaotic energy of the 1980s. The piece mirrors how The Cure stood apart from the hypersonic, carefree music of the era with their raw, introspective sound.
The textured background in "A Forest" enhances the nostalgic mood, creating a visual representation of the tension between light and shadow, joy and melancholy. It’s a piece that honors the legacy of The Cure while also exploring the emotional depth they brought to a colorful, surface-level time. For fans of the band, this artwork is a love letter to their ability to find beauty in darkness and to express emotions that transcend time.
