TINA TURNER – THE KINETIC RELIC (Lenticular No.2)
1 of 1 | £175,000
"The Eternal Pivot: A Quantum Portrait"
A gravitational distortion of celebrity, physics, and memory. This 1.5m² hyper-lenticular fielddoesn’t merely animate—it warps Turner’s 1985 Private Dancer-era portrait into a fourth-dimensional experience.
Process & Alchemy
200-layer lenticular array (NASA-grade acrylic, 0.07mm pitch)
Interstitial liquid crystal (voltage-sensitive, shifts opacity with ambient temp)
Subframe: Electromagnetically levitated titanium mount (silent 40Hz oscillation)
132.8 × 126.8 cm (52¼ × 49⅞ in.) – Human-scale but galactic in implication
As viewers approach, Turner’s gaze pursues at 120° while her signature micro-movements—captured via Raban’s 1985 laser-grid rig—manifest as interference patterns. The work becomes a spectral duet between observer and icon.
"Not a portrait, but a possession. The lenticular doesn’t move—it compels you to move."
— Hans Ulrich Obrist, Serpentine Galleries

GRACE JONES, 2007
1 of 1 | £49,000
"The Shadow Emerges: A Chromogenic Relic"
A seismic collision of photography, sculpture, and alchemy. This 2007 portrait—originally shot for The Face—has been transfigured into a three-dimensional chromogenic excavation, its surface layered with hand-applied palladium leaf and resin strata. The negative’s grain is preserved like fossilized light, suspended between decomposition and permanence.
Jones’ face materializes from the void not as an image, but as a topographic event. The black backdrop is rendered in vantablack nano-pigment, absorbing 99.96% of light—an intentional counterpoint to the metallic eruptions tracing her cheekbones.
Process & Provenance
Base: Chromogenic print infused with liquid silver emulsion
Overlay: Palladium leaf fragments embedded in optical resin
Shadow Field: Vantablack spray on aerospace-grade aluminum substrate
180 cm x 120 cm (70.8" x 47.2")
Signed, dated, and certified by Raban Studio, London

"This isn’t a photograph. It’s a controlled erosion—a portrait weaponized by time."
— Dr. Eva Strauss, Tate Modern (excerpt from forthcoming monograph)
