This pop art style painting depicts a retro toy that I remember from my youth. The wiggly plastic snake toy is made with flexible joints that create a slithering movement when handled, and they were often given out as a toy inside a party bag. They came in a variety of bright colours - here I've gone for purple contrasted with my trademark sky blue yellow background, in my usual pop art style.
I love the idea of turning a throwaway plastic toy into a piece of art that you can keep forever, evoking nostalgia childhood memories. The end result is a bold, bright painting that would brighten up any room in the house.
I've been inspired to create work like this by classic pop artists like Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Patrick Caulfield, but also by modern graphic designers.
