Sheridan Power by Maria Rivans

Sheridan Power is a giclee and silkscreen print with liquid gold ink, diamond dust and Spot Varnishes printed on Somerset Velvet Paper. From an edition of 75, the piece is signed and numbered by the artist. Meet the Sheridan Powers, the Hollywood couple everyone’s dying to know! With their fast cars, pampered pooches, and dazzling diamonds, the pair pack a flamboyant punch in classic Rivans panache. But this is more than just a story of boy meets girl; it’s a tale of masculine meets feminine, subverting the norm and celebrating gender in all its gorgeous fluidity. On the left, starlet Ann Sheridan holds the keys and the power, symbolised in speedy motorbikes, adventurous cowboys, and the White House itself. Over on the right, the handsome Tyrone Power is in touch with his feminine side, as pink flowers and diamond wrist-watches adorn his luscious headdress. Linking the two figures is London Bridge – a reminder that gender identity is something to be crossed and connected. Boy meets girl after all, but the rules of the game have changed: it’s Adam’s turn to do the hoovering, Eve’s taking the Ferrari for a spin.
