Artwork Description

A quirky, playful oil painting inspired by video game culture, dance-offs, and retro-futuristic interiors. This artwork features two women in Catwoman-inspired suits—one sleek in black, the other in vibrant bubblegum pink and white—locked in a stylised duel. The scene is a nostalgic nod to Bust-a-Groove’s Kitty Nakajima, reimagined in a pastel space-age lounge with pink shag carpet, city views, and a giant cartoon cat mural.

Perfect for fans of 90s gaming, girly pop aesthetics, and comic book heroines, this piece blends femininity, fantasy, and fun. It’s a celebration of double lives, camp style, and Catwoman lore—ideal for a gamer girl's den, home office, or statement wall.

Painted with care and a touch of naïve flair, this work adds a punch of personality to any collection.

Artist Bio

Julie Purcell combines graphic design training with fine art skills.

As a child of the 80's, late twentieth century video games inform Purcell's distinctive rendering style. In some ways, this early home entertainment influence shapes not only her artistic process but also her understanding of human nature and the world around her.

After starting out in corporate design, Purcell earned a BFA (Hons) from Queensland College of Art in 2017. Since then she has exhibited in group and solo shows; judged art competitions and has herself been the recipient of multiple art prizes.
