It’s a return to the sweet shop for my latest pop art food painting, with a canvas depicting the classic British sweet, a Wham Bar, coming out of its ripped packaging. The Wham Bar is a chewy pink fruit juice-flavoured sweet mixed with colourful sugary crystals of popping candy. They remind me of my childhood, but you can still buy them today.
As ever with classic sweets the packaging was always very eye-catching and well designed, and the Wham Bar is no different. That's why I always like to include the wrapping in my paintings if possible, making the painting a piece of eye-catching hand-drawn typography as well as a representation of food, all done in my trademark pop style. The design goes around the edge of the stretched cotton canvas as pictured, making it more like a 3D art object that's ready to hang. It's signed and dated on the back frame.
The end result is a bold bright painting that would brighten up any room in your home, or would make an ideal gift for someone with a sweet tooth.
