WTF

SHIPPED IN A TUBE - REQUIRES STRETCHING

100% original & hand painted - NO SCREEN PRINTING - Large Pop Art painting of textured acrylic paint, ink on an earthy warm beige textured ground.

Juxtaposing a somber vintage figure against a meticulously textured, beige ground, 'WTF' by PEZ delivers a brilliant punch of contemporary surrealism. This original artwork serves as a sophisticated, high-end visual anchor, tailor-made for luxury modern architectural spaces. Classic 1950s advertising relied on artificial, smiling perfection. By introducing vulnerable human reality into a stylised space, the viewer is afforded the deeper sense of authenticity and raw self-expression.

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 'ADD TO 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.

"I'm about the narrative. I want my images to unfold… invite you to explore."

This is me... sitting in cafes watching the world go by, collating sketches from observation then taking that to the canvas and brewing a cocktail community around personal experiences. I’m preserving the observational element and fusing it with intuitive imagery and colour. Ultimately I'm indulging my fascination with human development, relationships and community evolution. I strive to engage with a restricted palette, simplified imagery and a playful approach to common tropes and perceptions.

To give you a brief background, my wife and I currently work as full time Artists in our studios in beautiful Port Douglas. I’ve spent most of my professional career working in television and print media as an editor, camera operator and graphic designer. Much of this has been based out of the U.K., working and travelling with my amazing wife, Cheryl, an insanely talented professional artist of more than 25 years. She opened my eyes to Antoni Tapes, Ben Nicholson, Ralph Steadman, Cy Twombly and John Olsen, the list is endless and the experiences are priceless. I can credit her for encouraging me to take my musings more seriously and stepping out of the shadows - have a squizz at her BT profile Cheryl Harrison MA!

So, I hope you enjoy my paintings. They are meticulously executed and are of a quality that will hold their own in any space, contact me if you have any questions.
