DEAD ROCK STARS Acrylic & Collage on Canvas | 36" × 48" | 2016 From the Faceless Faces Series

They are all here. You already know them. You have always known them.

Bowie. Elvis. Lennon. Freddie. And others — figures of rock mythology whose silhouettes, whose hair, whose gestures are so deeply embedded in the collective imagination that a face becomes redundant. Dead Rock Stars is a painting about exactly that — the moment when a person becomes a symbol, when individual identity dissolves into something larger and stranger and more permanent than any single human life.

The faces are masked, absent, replaced by letters, symbols, fragments of collage. And yet every figure is instantly recognisable. Which tells you everything about what fame actually does — it doesn't preserve a person. It transforms them into a shape that belongs to everyone.

The surface is joyful and relentless — hot pink, cobalt, red, gold, black — figures pressing against each other in a crowd that has no edges, a visual chorus of archetypes rendered in layered acrylic and collage with the rhythmic, celebratory energy of a concert that is simultaneously a wake. Pop energy and conceptual depth occupying the same canvas without apology.

Dead Rock Stars is a significant work from the Faceless Faces series — one of the most intellectually ambitious paintings in the collection and one of the most immediately, viscerally exciting to be in a room with.

The spotlight faded. The voices didn't.

FAQ

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We offer free shipping on most works, with shipping costs (when applicable) never exceeding 10% of the piece's price. Large canvases ship rolled in a professional tube; oversized works requiring special packaging may be an exception, and we're happy to provide a quote. International collectors are responsible for any duties and taxes upon arrival.

Can I receive my painting already stretched and framed?

Large works ship rolled by default for safety in transit. If you'd prefer your piece delivered already on stretcher bars, contact us before purchasing for a separate shipping quote at your own expense. If you're interested in framing, reach out to claire@clairepriceartist.com to discuss your vision — we're happy to provide quotes and mockups to help you visualize the finished piece.

What if I'm not happy with my purchase?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of receiving the work. Choosing an artwork is a deeply personal experience, and we'll do our best to help place the right piece in your home — if something isn't right, contact us immediately and we'll try to facilitate an exchange or, if necessary, a refund. For returns, the client is responsible for the cost of shipping and insuring the piece back to us; once it arrives safely, a full refund is issued minus shipping and related expenses.

Is each piece truly one of a kind?

Yes — every original is a unique, one-of-one work, signed by the artist on the front and/or back, and shipped with a certificate of authenticity establishing provenance. The artist retains all copyright to the image, and reserves the right to reproduce it as prints or use it in future projects, at her discretion.

Do you take custom commissions?

Occasionally, by inquiry. Commission pricing is calculated at $4.50 per square inch, with a 50% non-refundable deposit required to begin. Contact us to discuss your piece and confirm availability.
