Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

This artwork is avaliable for purchase exclusively at Affordable Art Fair Sydney 15-18 June.

Full Monopoly board. I take popular imagery from classic sources and re-interpret it visually with expressive brushwork, thick layers of paint, splatters and drips. The text is often altered too, to give the paintings a new and often ironic or subversive message. The juxtaposition of classic imagery and unexpected text can be a source of humour and creates a nice dynamic. With the full Monopoly boards, I want to give a sense of the randomness and unpredictability of life - a roll of the dice can lead to fortune, disaster, mundanity or the very strange and unexpected. I want to balance playfulness and humour with a darkness (and the darkness itself is often funny, too!)

This painting is on stretched canvas, with painted sides, and is ready to hang without needing to be framed. It has a gloss varnish and is signed on the back. The paint is richly textured and the brushwork of the background free and energetic (creating a counterpoint to the more rigid black lines of the figures).

A fun pop image that will look great in any room!'
