Having been granted access to the Playboy archives – which hold every cover printed since the first issue in 1953 – Claridge chose six images dating from 1967-1982 to appear in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the iconic covers was then transformed into a series of limited edition silkscreen prints – hand signed by the artist – and embellished with Claridge’s signature ‘diamond dust’ finish. The unique technique ensures that no two people will view Claridge’s art in the same way as light is reflected and refracted off the shiny particles of the ‘diamond dust’– an incredibly rare material that was handmade to order for this project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimon Claridge said: “Playboy, to me, represents so many firsts… It’s progressive, revolutionary…I cannot emphasise enough the reach and scope of Playboy’s influence. Andy Warhol is the primary influence in my career; he famously created a Playboy cover cementing the relationship between Playboy and Pop Art, and paving the way for artists like me. I am so proud that my diamond dust collection is to be part of Playboy's lineage in 20th century culture.”\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"simon-claridge-august-1982-silkscreen-on-canvas-large","title":"August 1982 - Silkscreen on canvas (Large)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis iconic cover has been transformed into limited edition silkscreen print hand signed and embellished with Claridge’s signature ‘diamond dust’ finish.
