"King Prince" is one of the most conceptually striking works in the Daniel Gunn catalog — an acrylic portrait of Prince painted directly on thesaurus pages. The choice of substrate is not accidental. Prince was a man of infinite synonyms: musician, producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, provocateur, visionary. No single word could hold him. An entire thesaurus barely does.

The thesaurus pages beneath the paint are visible in the composition, their columns of language surfacing through acrylic like memory through time. The result is a portrait that is also a text, a painting that is also an argument about the nature of genius.

For collectors who value conceptual rigor alongside painterly skill, this is a standout piece.
