About this deal

Preserved by King Tom's lens, this print transports us back to a time when famous people like Fiona Richmond dared to challenge societal expectations with their unapologetic authenticity.

Does this text contain inaccurate information or language that you feel we should improve or change?It serves as a reminder that true artistry knows no limits or inhibitions – it is meant to provoke thought and push boundaries. Since then, working with models and co-performers Marianne Hyatt, Ame Henderson and Samantha Morton, she has made a combination of works in the privacy of the studio and with observers.

These ‘wordscapes’ define the shapes and forms of the body as well as fleeting moments such as the tension in a second of shared eye contact, or a nervous finger tapping.

It also refers to the elusive nature of description, the limiting as well as the communicating force of language and Banner’s interest in the harnessing of uncontained forces that spill out. She has explained, ‘I thought it would be interesting to strip off all the narrative and the mediation of the film image, and just look at the figure. Fiona Banner creates nude studies from life, by transcribing physical scenarios into verbal descriptions. The density of the black and white lettering and discrepancies between line widths, combined with the overall scale of the piece which exceeds human height, suggests a relationship between the image of the nude and the artist or viewer’s body. Spilt Nude 2007 is a large black and white written record of the image of a female nude as described in the artist’s own words.

The spatial arrangement of the lettering, with white over receding black, suggests a shadow or space a person might inhabit. The tapestry was a propaganda triumph, which influences the way history depicts the invasion to this day. All publications registered with an ISBN must be deposited in the Legal Deposit Office of The British Library, yet the singularity of Banner’s project makes this impossible.

is a four metre stack of Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft books, the iconic compendium for the aeronautical industry. This flexibility of display highlights the ways in which the nude can be addressed as person, object or painting. Spilt Nude 2007 highlights Banner’s ongoing interest in not only the act of observation, but also the process of translation and the space between the subject and the object. These personal transcriptions explore the ways in which actual or imagined events are fictionalised and mythologised.
