Sandman

This nostalgia-inspired Holden Sandman artwork is rich with layered textures and hidden details, inviting viewers to slow down and explore.

The car and shadow are also raised off the canvas via thick cardboard underneath to gives a 3d effect.

The artwork was created using acrylic paint and layered paper collaged elements. Rich textures are built through multiple layers of paint and paper, with an array of odd, unexpected details throughout, some partially obscured by paint, others left fully visible.

Collage materials are sourced from discarded books, junk mail, packaging, comics, maps, and vintage magazines, reusing and reinvigorating materials that would otherwise be thrown away.

Three coats of gloss varnish protect the surface, giving the work a smooth, glass-like sheen that enhances colour, depth, and contrast.

The artwork is ready to hang, with a wire fitted to the back and fully finished, painted and collaged edges. .

Please feel free to get in touch with any questions, or to discuss a commissioned artwork for your space.

Cheers, Darren
