Artwork Description

No hot tub? Me neither. So let this pint-sized piece offer a little dose of virtual wish fulfilment instead. Just a reminder—leave your phone out of the tub. You might get zapped, and besides, it totally ruins the vibe.

About the method:
This piece from my mini series Toy Garden merges simulated elements from video game environments with my retro Britains Ltd garden playset, creating a painted world that feels like a Polly Pocket in 2D!

Julie Purcell 78 artworks | 15 Sold

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.
