FAILE - Forever Tender, 1986

Description:
This piece, Forever Tender, 1986, is by the contemporary art collaboration FAILE (Patrick McNeil and Erik Parker).

While the date "1986" is inscribed, it's characteristic of FAILE to incorporate vintage motifs and dates into their work, often referencing pop culture and Americana, rather than indicating the actual year of creation by the collective, which formed in 1999.

The work measures 80cm x 69cm (31.5in x 27.2in) and is likely a screenprint or mixed media on paper, a common medium for the duo.

Their style is characterised by bold graphics, fragmented imagery, and a vibrant, layered aesthetic.
