Mask of War

by Kelley Hensing

This one is a little different than my usual art, but I’ve been wanting to re-work this image for a while now and I finally had the opportunity to do so. Originally inspired by the book “Johnny Got His Gun”, this image is a nightmarish look at the face of war and the impression it evokes.

The piece has a fantastic, professionally-made frame that was designed around the art (credit goes to Michael’s Framing) that really gives it a bold impact. Click on the photos below to get a closer look at the image and idea of size.

Measurements: center art measures aprox 11×13. With frame total measurement is 24×24 inches square.
Custom made frame is solid wood with raised pattern and a grey-silver finish. Thread of red wood edging to highlight red tones in the image. Covered with glass.
Ready to hang~
