Australian artist John Klein's Deco Goddess, an Art Deco portrait of a bronze goddess, framed in bold black and gold, printed on a mulberry silk square scarf, perfect tied at the neck, in your hair or on a bag.
The story behind the artwork
As an artist, I am drawn to the timeless beauty and sophistication of Art Deco and my portrait of fellow artist and presenter Claudia Chan Shaw reflects this passion. I was inspired by her shared love of the movement and sought to capture her essence as an Art Deco goddess. I have painted Claudia as a bronze sculpture referencing the Austrian sculptor Lorenzl, who was renowned for his Art Deco style. Her elegant posture, stylised hair and striking features embody the bold, glamorous spirit of the era.
