MONA LISA (One-Off)

Mona Lisa is a one-off mosaic that reinterprets one of the most recognisable images in art history through Ed Chapman’s distinctive material-led approach. Constructed from carefully cut ceramic tiles, the portrait breaks the familiar face into hundreds of angular fragments, reassembled with precision to retain expression, balance, and presence.

Rather than chasing illusion, the work leans into structure. The tiled surface introduces rhythm and fracture, turning a universally known image into something physical, tactile, and newly encountered. Subtle shifts in tone and colour give form to the face, while the bold background keeps the composition direct and unapologetic.

This is not an exercise in imitation, but reinterpretation - a contemporary object that acknowledges the past while asserting its own identity. Seen up close, the craftsmanship and material decisions come into sharp focus; from a distance, the image resolves with quiet confidence. A strong, self-contained piece that invites both recognition and reappraisal.
