Screenprint in colours with silver ink // Miles Aldridge's Venus Etcetera (after Botticelli) is a limited edition screen print created in 2022. The artwork reimagines Botticelli's classic The Birth of Venus through a contemporary, retro lens. Displayed on an old television set, the image of a woman echoes the elegance and poise of Botticelli's Venus, yet the monochromatic blue tint and modern surroundings add a surreal, cinematic quality. Surrounding the TV, objects like pink roses, a drink glass, and a vintage lamp create a nostalgic, pop-culture atmosphere, blending high art with everyday kitsch. Aldridge’s use of color and silver ink enhances the glamour and allure of this contemporary take on a timeless icon.
