Archival PRINTS

These artworks functioned as both personal graphic artworks and digital advertising for the HANLON® brand. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity that is signed, numbered and dated by the artist making it rare and collectable. These artworks represent an important period in the brand’s history and helped launch HANLON®. Moreover during the 25 year period from 1995 to 2020 luxury brands via brochure, magazine and television advertising relied heavily on stereotypical models (ie., same height, body fat mass index and general physical characteristics). Christopher’s maverick gangster-artist brand, however, chose to focus on non-racial-specific illustrations which were also ageless in appearance; and what 25 years later would be termed ‘social meme influencers’ – one of the most authentic forms of consumer marketing. His decadent flagship stores located in both The Strand Arcade and on George Street appeared fresh, quirky and luxurious; appealing to the new switched-on generation. The digital meme-artworks themselves spoke to consumers on an embracing level. They represented and encapsulated a form of modern, non-predictive luxury.

HANLON® specializes in two genres: Abstract Native inspired by outback flora and Brand-Pop Icon featuring advertising/art for the HANLON® persona. Each artwork is either a museum grade giclée print on archival cotton rag paper or directly printed onto aluminium (wall mounts included). Archival watercolour paper gives genuine art gallery qualities to the print (in both paper texture and vibrant opaque colours) as does printing on aluminium.

Your purchase entitles you to use the artwork for personal and public viewing or to sell your certified original. In such a situation we advised you inform CHRISTOPHER HANLON® so ledgers may be updated for future verification purposes. Verified artworks add to the marketable fiscal value. Artworks arrive unframed.
