Limited Edition Reproduction of 100 Only
I had an old black and white, aerial, ordinance-survey print. Circa 1950’s Britain. Had it since art college days and always knew one day I’d use it. It’s the background in this painting.
The rest just evolved, serendipitously.
The tin-toy robot is mine. I endeavoured to include tropical fish in the work, but my plans went astray. So, the crumpled-up paper in the painting is the actual picture of tropical fish I was going to use as reference.
The three-some at the top are a tribute to ‘1960’s American Romance Comics’ and the ethos of tear-stained heartache and unrequited love.
I wrestled with doubts over the caption in the speech bubble. I wanted something both confrontational and humorous. And, although Australia is my home, I was born in Wales!
Enough said!
