Purple People Eater
Billy Connolly
(Ex VAT)

A hand-signed giclée on paper by Billy Connolly, CBE.

This artwork is featured in Billy’s new book ‘The Accidental Artist’. Find out more here. 

Named after the song that the artist knew as a child, this intriguing "one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater" was, at first, an unnamed abstract figurative work by the artist. However, upon infusing the artwork with electric purple colour, it ignited a childhood memory within the artist and the artwork took on a new life. Now, it is a ferocious evocation of sound, music, and memory.

This, the first 2022 instalment of his highly successful collection Born On A Rainy Day, is replete with dynamic colours that allow his world-renowned figurative artworks to take on new life and meaning. Displayed on 100% cotton deckle-edged paper, float-mounted in a black painted and silver foiled pine frame, this artwork will add a bright and bold touch of musical and comedic history to your home.

About

Billy Connolly

About

Billy Connolly

The world-famous musician and comedian’s iconic artworks have no less impact than one of his legendary comedy sketches. The faceless figures possess an extraordinary self-awareness and humanity. Devoid of emotion or expression, their anonymity opens them up to individual interpretation, creating a unique bond with the viewer.

 

Featured by The Times and documentaries including Billy Connolly: It's Been a Pleasure, his minimalist drawings have been described as 'poignant', 'funny' and 'enigmatic' by critics.

Every piece of art is mounted, glazed or framed by hand, with our bespoke framing service selected by our creative department.

Built to last

Our foundations are built on a passion for art, and many of our staff (and collectors!) have been with us from the very beginning.
