Is it a man…? Is it a plant…? It’s ‘Ambushed starring Clarke Gable’, the latest in Maria Rivans’s sensational Film Stills series!
In this age of image, saturated with selfies and YouTube celebrity, Rivans’s print offers a refreshing tonic: maybe there’s more to life than meets the ego. As Clark Gable gets slowly wound with garlands of wild ivy, there’s an eco message twined in here, too: maybe, just maybe, it's mother nature who will have the last word. Finished with a strip of golden glitter, Rivans embeds a glimmer of optimism above all the sci-fi surreality; because somewhere beyond the clouds, the sun is still shining. Harking back to classic collage aesthetics – think Hannah Höch, think Richard Hamilton, think Robert Rauschenberg – ‘Ambushed starring Clarke Gable’ nails that vintage cinema feel. This is technicolor for the twenty-first century.
