British urban artist Imbue (called “The Banksy of Brighton”) is well known for his subversive art and for playing with corporate and religious iconography. From an interview (by Felicity Carter for Forbes): “My work comments on religion but I’m not trying to communicate a particular message. I’m definitely not against religion, I’m really fascinated by it. I’m interested in the way religion impacts the world and carries stories across history, communicating messages that people learn from. The way ideas have come together and religions have been formed is amazing to me. […] My use of religious iconography also comes from the fact that I like using familiar icons in my work, and religious icons are the original example of this.”
Dominion is a print on semi gloss woven paper, signed and numbered in black felt tip pen by the artist. Size 12 × 16 1/2 in ( 30 × 42 cm), published by the artist in an edition of 530, we have piece number 310/530. Included in the edition is the original COA, also signed and numbered, another small print from a cash register referring to Brexit, and two original stickers (not mounted). In keeping with its informal look, we designed it to be ‘frameless’ and floating behind a piece of glass the original size of the print, as if it were nothing more than an IKEA assembly manual.
