The Golden King by Rob Bishop, Premium Deluxe Original Variation Art on Wood
The Golden King by Rob Bishop is a Premium Deluxe Original Variation Artwork.
A striking mixed-media tribute to regal power, timeless strength, and the eternal cycle of existence. Etched and hand-painted onto 12mm maple-veneered board, it layers wood stain, spray paint, and lacquer for rich depth, tactile texture, and a radiant, golden glow. Subtle background fragments from Elton John’s “Circle of Life” (from The Lion King) weave in quietly, adding a gentle nod to themes of life’s endless round, hope, faith, and renewal.
The commanding centrepiece is a meticulously rendered lion in majestic golden-brown tones, gazing forward with fierce intensity and noble poise, symbolizing unyielding leadership, primal dignity, inner strength, and the enduring spirit of the king of beasts. Intricate African-inspired patterns in gold infuse the composition, enhancing the work’s cultural depth and regal resonance.
Presented in the artist’s bespoke, hand-crafted Feature Frame, built entirely from scratch and embellished with crown motifs and subtle regal accents integrated into each corner. Measuring 86 × 86 cm (99 × 99 cm framed), this Premium Deluxe edition is a bold, immersive statement blending fine art technique, meticulous craftsmanship, and the timeless allure of majestic power.
“I create each artwork digitally, using a range of techniques including drawing, image manipulation and digital collage. The finished design is then engraved onto 12 mm maple-veneered board. producing a 3D reference image. From there, I refine the piece by sketching in details, hand-painting in layers with wood stains and lacquer to build depth and richness.”
