Large, full Monopoly board with the theme of 'Rock N Roll'.
The properties around the board are streets and places from iconic rock or pop songs - locations from the Beatles, AC/DC, Roxy Music, and many others. It's a painting I've been thinking of for over two years (and I've actually had the canvas all that time, progressing at a glacial pace while working on other projects!).
The canvas is a heavy, good quality surface from the Stretch Canvas Company in Byron Bay. These Monopoly paintings are fairly time consuming to produce, because apart from the text and details, the entire painting is built up of many layers of paint. The surface of the paint is impasto and textured, with drips and spatters, and coated with a gloss varnish. These paintings are intentionally a balance of hard-edged design and painterly chaos. The sides of the canvas are painted black, and the painting is ready to hang without needing to be framed.
The paintings in this series have been very successful, having been shown in prestigious galleries and bought by collectors around the world. They're bright, joyful, explosive statement pieces.
