In remembrance of the 'King Of Pop', the artist Adam Nixon has exclusively created for Photoaltering.com a new series of limited edition portraits of Michael Jackson in pop art style.

These portraits are not produced by automation. There are many hours of dedicated work in each one. The artist has closely studied the original pop art technique. The website pictures you see here do not do them full justice, but when you receive your actual print, you will be able to see and appreciate the amount of extra work which goes into one of our portraits.

Each portrait is available as a 12x12 inch photographic print, or a 25x25 inch reproduction print on fineart quality paper, or on canvas as an 18x18 inch stretcher-framed edition, or on canvas at the authentic size of 40x40 inches (101.6x101.6 cm) stretcher-framed canvas. There are also 4-Up version options available (as pictured at the top of the right-hand column). These are limited edition prints. Each one is different. Yours will be unique. You may also choose a colour preference. An example of the purchase price is £450 plus delivery for one of the single first-run 40x40 inch canvas size. To enquire into availability and prices of other sizes, please email here.

Zoomed details:

Nixon portrays a a Michael of all ages, for all seasons, both young and old, playful and wise, with plastic surgery and without, before and after the torments of fame, an exotic visionary genius looking both backwards and forwards across his career as perhaps the greatest and most famous 20th Century entertainer, ranking alongside the likes of Sinatra, Piaf and Garland, gazing into an unknown future of unparalleled notoriety, brilliance and tragedy which no-one could have foretold.

Nixon 'grew up' with Michael, in a manner of speaking. The two were the same age, and in 1969, Nixon and his eleven year-old school classmates were enthralled by a new Tamla Motown performer who was only the same age as them. Michael was thus 'adopted' as one of us, the imaginary classmate sitting beside our desk at school, the kid who had apparently 'beat the system'. We were never jealous or ridiculing of him. We simply applauded his brilliance, and were touched by his evident shyness and humility off-stage. We cheered him on, and grew old together. But behind the scenes, unknown to us, Michael's life was to become a fusion of all the glittering cleverness, but also all the sickness of humanity. No human can cure this sickness, or ever will. These are the things we despairing humans as a last resort can only consign to the annals of mystery, or appeal to a transcendent Creator for reason and meaning.

Michael will remain forever as one of our frail and fickle civilization's best known casualties. Almost no-one alive professes to have known and understood Michael completely. But this new portrait by Adam Nixon invites you to try.
