John Lennon Portrait by Nikki Douthwaite

JOHN LENNON
Hole Punch Dots (Aprox 99,000) on wood.
Size - 158cm by 122cm
Completed March 2011

Having only made seven dot pictures, and having done a John Lennon before, I was a little wary of creating another. This was a commissioned piece, and differed from the first dot John, looking black and white, whilst being made out of coloured dots, as with both Senna and Marilyn. Having had practice at this already, you would think this would be an easy task. However, the contrast of bright to dark on the two halves of the picture provided a tough challenge, and the sheer amount of dark dots to be stuck started to get me a little down.

Once completed, it was delivered to it's new owner, who was more than delighted with the outcome. John's owner will be showing the picture in galleries around the world, including the Beatles museum in Liverpool.
