Tin Soldier, Homage to Elvis Presley, Left Side View - Limited Edition of 25 Print

The Royal Danish Life Guards Regiment serves as a guard as well as a ceremonial unit to the Danish Monarchy. While on guard duty, the uniform of the Guards consists of dark blue tunics and light blue trousers with white stripes. The ceremonial uniform, worn on special state occasions, substitutes a scarlet tunic for the dark blue. I have always been fascinated by the glorious uniform, and decided to project it to the Danish Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier', one of my treasured childhood protagonists. Thus, I meticulously portrayed it from all four viewpoints, adopting the face of Elvis Presley, my adolescence hero. Both Andersen's 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier' and Elvis Presley, had a great influence on me – the first was a model for uncompromising resilience even in the most difficult circumstances and the second was a major factor in shaping my cultural world. A reparation is made here to both of them: the Tin Soldier regains his lost leg and Elvis is brought back to life. Andersen's 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier' and Elvis Presley come from different worlds, different centuries and different disciplines: literature, in which the work is expressed in written words and music, in which the work is expressed in sounds. ‘Tin Soldier, Homage to Elvis Presley’, is a work of art from yet another world, another century and another discipline, different from the other two – painting, in which the work is expressed in shapes and colors. This artwork - Tin Soldier, Homage to Elvis Presley, Left Side View - is a framed piece which measures (width) 57 X (height) 175 cm. It is also one piece of the tetraptych consisting of 4 separate pieces - Tin Soldier, Homage to Elvis Presley - which you can find among my list of artworks here. The other discrete pieces of this tetraptych, each displays a different posture, are available here as well: front view, right side view and back view. Each piece of the four pieces tetraptych artwork can be a stand-alone piece of art, completely independent of the other parts, with its own interpretation. In the same way, any couple of pieces or any three pieces of the four may comprise an independent artwork. Therefore, each piece of the four is available here as a stand-alone, completely independent artwork. Please look for your favorite part among my list of artworks.
