Prince Mugshot

This limited edition screen print features a now infamous image of Prince, purportedly taken by the Jackson Police Department (though it bears a striking resemblance to the album cover for his eponymous second album, Prince, and does not match any arrest records).

Studwell’s work focusses on celebrity and the dark side of fame. His mugshot series explores the vulnerabilities and flaws of celebrities often hidden from public view but highlighted in these raw and public images; revealing cracks in the people we hold in such high esteem.

The pop-style punch comes across here on screen. It is much harder for us to show the beautiful quality of Studwell’s masterful silk screen technique that makes his work so coveted and so well loved by collectors.
