Rome’s Colosseum | Limited Edition of 150

That was a marathon! I completed this intricately-detailed artwork of Rome's famous Colosseum in early August this month in just under two weeks... phew! This time around, unlike previous works, I decided to use two typewriters; a Polish Accounting 1930’s Smith Premiere (which you can see in my latest video here) and my trustee 1960's Olympia SG3 to complete all the intricate details e.g. people, traffic and brickwork.

Overall, this artwork contains over 200,000 letters, numbers and punctuation marks. The traffic and people contained in this artwork alone represent 25,000 type-written marks on the page. There are many hidden references including a tribute to the 2000’s film, Gladiator. I’ve grown to love typing vehicles in my work and this particular drawing is no exception. The stonework of the amphitheatre is comprised of capital and lowercase “I’s and i’s” joined together with underscores “_” and equals “=” signs. The artwork measures 42cm x 29.7cm (A3)
