All are in eye-popping colour: many depict a crowd in observational tableaux, each figure a character by virtue of dress, body language, and interactions with each other, animals, and their setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOther paintings reflect Colwell's wide travels, and still others are surreal - such as 'Junior and the Legs' (2023), which shows a young man strumming a guitar on stage, accompanied by disembodied women's limbs. Each image has a narrative and a moral purpose - often, one figure bravely moves forward, despite a hostile crowd. In Guy Colwell's world, no individual could ever be an island, just another part of a rich ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThematically, then, it is fitting that this book was made possible by a group of his collectors, who are sponsoring the show\/Guy Colwell retrospective 'Imaginary Reality,' from which this book is created, in an independent space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGo Figure\u003c\/em\u003e is in an 11 X 11 inch format, to best feature the high-quality reproductions of these numerous critically praised works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362605449452,"sku":"9798875000973","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12592413488908.jpg?v=1772896138","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/go-figure-by-guy-colwell-9798875000973","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
