This Is Not A Love Song

Mid Century Modernism. As I was painting this one I was wary of these modernist shapes looking too much like love hearts, so the song "This Is Not A Love Song" by Public Image Limited came into my head...hence the title. It has nothing to do with Modernism, but it stuck. I love playing around with these off-beat shapes and colours that are inspired by 50's and 60's architecture and art. The carefully hand painted shapes are highlighted with carefree drips of paint to add some unpredictability. It would have been such an exciting time to be creating new ideas. The freedom to design whatever your mind can come up with has helped me break out from the norm, and avoid the mainstream. These might not suit the beige, cream, off-white styles that I see in most interiors, but they will definitely make an impact. Lots of fun, and most importantly....lots of colour!
