I've returned back to a popular theme of mine with this new miniature canvas painting - retro sweets and brightly coloured packaging design. This one depicts the classic Fruit Salad sweet, a mainstay of many childhoods in the UK. The Fruit Salad is a wrapped raspberry and pineapple flavour chew, usually sold alongside the Black Jack sweet.
As ever with many of my works the design goes around the edge and the shape of the canvas mimics the actual shape of the object - so it's like an actual art object as well as a painting of it, a technique inspired by Claes Oldenburg.
The end result is a bold painting that would brighten up any room in your home, or would make an ideal gift for someone with a sweet tooth. The final image shows some of the other retro sweet paintings available in my shop.

I've been inspired to create work like this by classic pop artists like Andy Warhol, and Patrick Caulfield, but also by modern graphic designers.
