Later today, Mondo will be releasing its first ever poster by Seattle artist Wylie Beckert. It this stunning movie poster for Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange! As Mondo stated, “Working with an artist for the first time is always a bit of an adventure, and in this case, the results are gorgeous. Her disjointed, disorienting illustration fits the film perfectly. We couldn't be happier with how this turned out, we hope you like it too.”
Wylie went on to explain her process: “Most of the iconic visuals from the film come from its early scenes – Alex’s droog costume, the Korova Milk Bar, ultraviolence. I’ve always found the second half of the story more compelling, though: a post-Ludovico-Technique Alex tortured by all the things that once brought him joy and ill-equipped to fend for himself in a world that hasn’t been correspondingly reformed. To capture that feeling of helpless torment, I wanted to show Alex trapped in a spiraling orange peel of madness and debauchery.”
A Clockwork Orange by Wylie Beckert is a 24”x36” hand numbered movie poster screen print. The Regular Edition is limited to 175 pieces and will retail for $50, while the Variant is limited to 75 pieces and will retail for $75. Both posters will go on sale at 11am CDT today, Thursday, April 9th, at The Drop on MondoShop.com.
