Double Regicide - Suspicious Circumstances by Rob Rek  - is an exquisite example of the photo realistic style with which the artist’s work has become synonymous.

This diptych is set against a dramatically Simplistic ultra white background. The artists hyperrealist style captures the arrestingly dramatic subject, a pair of full human skulls, each adorned with glittering gold and jewel encrusted crowns.


The royal couple's crowns are encrusted with giant sapphires, rubies, emeralds, amethysts and hundreds of sparkling diamonds. Each trimmed with a classically regal ermine fur collar. The coronation style crown is embellished with an internal velvet cap in royal purple.

The largest of the artists "skulls behaving badly" series, which contrasts luxury and excess with mortality in a reimagining of the ancient Dutch Vanitas art movement of the 14th century.
