Unpopular Picador

Here I've given the Unpopular treatment to a classic Picador book cover, the film tie-in of Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest". It's an iconic cover, and a painting I've been wanting to do for a few years.

The canvas has painted sides, and it's ready to hang without needing to be framed. The painting is sealed beneath a gloss varnish.

For lovers of classic books, movies and design.

Painter from the Blue Mountains. I've had paintings in the Sulman Prize 2012‚ Mosman Prize 2012‚ Calleen Art Prize 2013‚ Gallipoli Art Prize 2014 & 2016, Gosford Art Prize 2018 & 2018, the ANL Maritime Art Prize 2018 and the 2019 Hawkesbury Art Prize (winner). In the last nine years I've had a lot of success with abstract paintings, drawing inspiration from the covers of 'Popular Penguin' paperback books, from the classic Monopoly board, Uno cards, and other pop culture icons. The paintings are distorted representations of the subject matter, transformed with thick brushstrokes and often random lettering, retaining the essence of the original but also becoming something new. I have had sell out shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore. My art has been featured in Art Edit magazine, The Grand Designs Australia Sourcebook and the Financial Review. PLEASE NOTE - commissions now closed for 2024. Thank you!
