Behind the scenes
Tom Murphy, founder of Make-Ready, discusses the process of translating the luminous texture of 'Put Some Red on It’, bringing Ferrari Sheppard’s original work to life.Limited edition
Edition of 100A new limited edition print by Ferrari Sheppard captures his spiritual approach to portraiture.
Originally painted in 2021, the aptly titled Put Some Red On It, is a prime example of the artist’s bold and expressive style that has made him a leading voice of contemporary American painting. A woman sits proudly on vibrant red furniture, in a gold dress and white boots that look like they could be negative space. The layered shades of black, brown, white, gold and red capture the exquisite balance of audacity and sensitivity that Ferrari brings to the painting process, which for him is “100% spiritual”.
This edition, made in close collaboration with the artist, features silkscreen gold shimmer details and a matte varnish seal, designed to emulate the luminous textures of the original work created in acrylic, charcoal and 24-carat gold leaf.
