Featuring a cross-generational mix of iconic figures, beloved side characters and cult favourites from books, film and TV, Whatshisname has created a collection of over 20 characters in his popular Gone series, delving into the essence of nostalgia and the bittersweet process of letting go of our cherished childhood memories.

He was inspired to create the Gone series after dreaming about a figure from his youth. “They only appeared as a faded silhouette,” he remembers. “It felt like meeting with an old family member or a good friend who l hadn't seen in a very long time. After waking up I could still remember the feeling, but I couldn't remember who the person was, only a shadowy outline which could have been anyone”.

Part of this famous series, this artwork see Whatshisname explore a vision of a childhood companion that re-enter his contemporary conscious in fleeting moments of reminiscence.

We see the extended hands of the characters touching the face of the screen between us; a reminder of the imprint they have left on us. Are they saying “goodbye” or are they reminding us “we are still here, don’t forget about us”? The interpretation is left to you, inviting a personal reflection on the enduring presence of these iconic figures in our lives.

This artwork is a Flatbed Giclée limited edition on Moulin 300gsm Paper with an edition size of only 9.
