Rachel Convers

Description

Abel is part of ibride's Galerie de Portraits, a collection in which Rachel Convers reimagines classical European portraiture through poetic and unexpected characters. Abel is presented with the poise and authority of a formal ancestral portrait, yet his animal identity introduces ibride's characteristic note of humour and ambiguity. The result feels at once historical, theatrical and unexpectedly contemporary.

The tray is designed to move between function and art. Use it for serving, then display it on the wall like a contemporary portrait. Its satin surface gives depth to the illustration while retaining the practical qualities of an everyday tray. A wall fixing is included.

Many portraits from the collection have become collectible as individual designs and editions are retired. Occasionally, ibride revisits a character in a new composition or with a different decorative border, identified as a later edition such as No. 2. Discontinued editions are no longer manufactured and are increasingly sought by collectors looking for particular characters from the series.
