SHIPPED IN A TUBE - REQUIRES STRETCHING
Large figurative, pop art abstraction of textured acrylic paint on a weathered vibrant background.
These pieces are all hand painted originals - NO STENCILS OR SCREEN PRINTING. They are a play on classic retro advertising and people watching, playing with the choices and self expression... with a dash of surreal.
Process - I want my images to feel original, there is no mass production here, NO STENCILS, NO SPRAY PAINT. I conceive images and characters then bring them to life with mostly small brushes and palette knives - contextualised within colour and narratives.
*Look out for the video links of my studio process in many of my listings.
Finish - I paint with semi-gloss mediums, so my work has a natural, subtle sheen to it. I avoid gloss varnish. I want my paintings to be seen from all aspects. If I feel the piece needs a sealer I will add that but I don't want my images getting lost behind reflections. I want the images to show the depth and variation of their layers.
STRETCHING & FRAMING
This painting is acrylic on UNSTRETCHED canvas and comes rolled in a tube, ready for stretching & framing. Offering my work unstretched keeps the costs down for my collectors, making very large scale work more affordable and safer to transport. Working like this also allows the painting to extend around the edges, which means the painting will look great without a decorative frame. For stretching and/or framing, utilise Bluethumb’s 'FRAMING OPTIONS ' above the 'VIEW IN CART' button.
*Please note any in situ images of this artwork is to offer decor, installation and framing examples only and although I try my best to get it right they are never going to be perfectly to scale.
