{"product_id":"abstract-portrait-commission","title":"Abstract Portrait Commission — Expressive Colour Hand-Painted Original","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn expressive, abstracted portrait painting — recognizable subject, abstracted use of colour. This is where my graffiti influence really sings: less faithfulness to the reference photo, more interpretation. Spray paint, ink, oil and acrylic on canvas, with vivid non-naturalistic colour, gestural mark-making, and the visible presence of the painter's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood fits: musicians, performers, anyone whose energy outstrips their literal appearance; subjects you want to feel iconic rather than literal; collectors who want bold contemporary work that holds a room. Less good for: a precise likeness for a relative; a memorial portrait where the subject's exact features matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal oils, acrylics, spray paint, ink on canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted from reference photos you supply (I'll interpret, not replicate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour palette and composition sketch sent for approval before I start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned on front and reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime-lapse video of the painting being created\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree worldwide shipping — professionally packaged and insured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurnaround approx. 2–3 weeks from reference approval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull money-back guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the commission process works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter purchase, I'll be in touch to discuss composition, palette direction and reference photos before I start. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/commissions\"\u003eSee the full commission process →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the artist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm Richard Day, a British contemporary portrait artist working from my studio in Norwich, UK, in a graffiti-influenced style. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/studio\"\u003eRead more about my work →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes \u0026amp; pricing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbstract portrait commissions start at £395 (24×24\") and scale up to £1,495 (72×72\").
