Moody, magnetic, and steeped in synth soaked shadows. This portrait of Marc Almond and Dave Ball captures the duality at the heart of Soft Cell. Rendered in icy blues and stark blacks, their figures emerge from a cosmic swirl of abstraction, like two voices echoing through a neon-lit dream. The contrast is pure drama: Almond’s theatrical intensity meets Ball’s stoic cool, framed in a visual that feels both intimate and otherworldly.
Part of Pip’s New Romantics Collection, this canvas celebrates Soft Cell’s legacy of emotional rawness and electronic rebellion. It’s not just a portrait, it’s a pulse.

Soft Cell (Canvas Prints)
This print is reproduced from Pip's original hand painted acrylic artwork. It is brought to life on a premium canvas giclée print, designed to showcase every detail with rich depth and vibrant colours. The work is one of a series of 10 paintings from Wirral based artist Pip that form the ‘New Romantics’ collection.
Canvas prints are available in 4 sizes:
- Small 12" x 12" (30cm x 30cm)
- Medium 20" x 20" (50cm x 50cm)
- Large 28" x 28" (70cm x 70cm)
- Extra Large 40" x 40" (100cm x 100cm).
The artwork is printed on to a high quality poly-cotton blend canvas that is wrapped around a thick wooden pine frame that sits off the wall. The print image wraps around the sides of the frame so is perfect to hang straight on to the wall without framing.
Alternatively choose to add a black or white floater frame that create a striking 'floating' effect, giving the art an elegant, modern touch.
Please note that some of the images are provided for illustrative purposes to show how the canvas print is constructed. The actual shipped print will use the specific painting of the selected product ordered.
