VHS blank tapes vol.1 - Retro series

VHS blank tapes vol.1 - Retro series

Back in the 80's blank video tapes were a total game changer. Making a collection of favourite music videos, a favourite tv series or your favourite movies. We all had em and loved them. No cable tv, definitely no streaming services. Instant 80's nostalgia and I'm sure fond memories.

I paint these on wood panel with a backing frame purely as I prefer it to canvas which can often flex. Painting on wood goes back to the masters and it suits oils better. Secured with picture hanging fixings and wire, it's ready to hang and will be safe an secure.

This series began a while ago with a painting of an original Polaroid camera. The 80's may now be retro, but for some of us, it was simply called childhood. Polaroids, Walkmans, Vinyl, VHS and cassette tapes.

Definitely a trip down memory lane. If you're old enough to remember sitting by the tv waiting for your favourite songs or shows. VHS is is in a broken realist style or abstract realism. Painted in several layers over the course of several days. It is eye catching and really pops! This one has some very cool texture as well.

● This painting is on sealed MDF with it's own backing like a bought canvas. UV varnished in satin.

● Ready to hang.

● Comes with Certificate of authenticity.
