Reflecting my love of kitsch 60s and 70s interiors, this miniature canvas shows a ceramic duck mounted on a wall with a patterned wallpaper effect. I'd always remembered seeing this style of ceramic duck, usually mounted in a flying formation of three, in the background of TV shows like Coronation Street. Cut to present day, this piece continues an unplanned series of paintings featuring 'things shaped like birds that aren't birds' - a pink plastic flamingo, a rubber duck, and a swan boat, as can be seen in the rest of my shop.
The background is a simple 1970s inspired pattern meant to represent a typical wallpaper of the era, but painting by hand, using stencils and Posca paint pens. The end result is a cute, decorative piece of art that would look great hung in the home of similar lover of kitsch, vintage design. It could also be propped up on a bookcase, as pictured, thanks to its small frame. My previous customers have also often bought more than one of these smaller canvases as they look great hung together - see the last picture.
Size - 5 inches x 5 inches 15cm x 15cm Roughly half an inch or 1.5 cm thick.
I've been inspired to create work like this by classic pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, and by modern days graphic designers and street artist.
