Look at me I'm Dying | limited edition hand pulled print

A striking and provocative print that confronts the viewer with an unsettling mixture of humour, vulnerability and mortality.

In Look at Me, I'm Dying, Sibylle Laubscher presents a theatrical face surrounded by swirling, flame-like hair. Large, staring eyes, spiral cheeks and blue teardrops create an expression that is both playful and disturbing. The bold lettering demands our attention, transforming the image into a direct and urgent encounter.

The words LOOK AT ME, I'M DYING introduce a tension between the almost comic appearance of the figure and the seriousness of its message. Is this a cry for help, an expression of despair, or a reflection on our desire to be seen and acknowledged?

Rich oranges, reds and blues, combined with expressive carved lines and strong graphic contrasts, give the composition an almost poster-like intensity. The decorative surface draws us in, while the message invites us to look beyond appearances.

The print explores themes of identity, vulnerability, mortality and the human need for connection. Its ambiguity allows humour and tragedy to coexist, leaving the viewer to discover their own interpretation.

An original, hand-pulled multicolour print, created using traditional printmaking techniques. Each impression carries the distinctive marks and subtle variations of the handmade process.

A bold and thought-provoking artwork for collectors who appreciate expressive contemporary printmaking, figurative art and images that challenge as well as delight.
