Kelly Bevan – Remembrance Poppy Original

Kelly Bevan – Remembrance Poppy

Original 3D Mixed Media Artwork | Hand-Painted Toy Soldiers | 37 × 37cm | Framed

A beautifully poignant and thought-provoking original artwork by Kelly Bevan, transforming miniature toy soldiers into one of the most recognisable symbols of remembrance: the red poppy.

This striking three-dimensional composition brings together dozens of individual toy soldiers, spray-painted in vibrant red and carefully arranged to form the delicate petals of a poppy.

At the centre, a contrasting cluster of black-painted figures creates the flower's distinctive dark heart, drawing the eye into the intricate detail of the piece.

What makes this artwork particularly moving is the relationship between its materials and its meaning. Each miniature soldier becomes part of a larger symbol of remembrance, representing the individuals whose lives have been affected or lost through conflict.

The vivid red figures stand beautifully against a clean white background, while the deep black frame gives the artwork a contemporary, gallery-quality presentation.

Unlike a traditional painting or print, the raised figures create genuine depth, texture and shadow, allowing the composition to change subtly as light moves across its surface.

The reverse of the artwork features a copy of John McCrae's 1915 poem In Flanders Fields, providing a powerful historical connection to the poppy's enduring symbolism.

A remarkable combination of contemporary assemblage art, sculpture and remembrance, this original piece is both visually captivating and deeply meaningful.

Measuring 37 × 37cm including its black frame, this unique artwork is perfect for collectors who appreciate unusual materials, contemporary British art and artwork with a powerful story.
