117 - grAzie - WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE
Spray paint, acrylic and posca pen.
My piece I made in support of the Samarivan art auction is a tribute piece of The Beatles walking the iconic pedestrian crossing to Glastonbury. I have interpreted Sarah's iconic yellow van as "the yellow submarine". A magical, childlike place for the mind to wonder, free from the struggles outside the submarine.
Bio
Colourful, evocative and nostalgic, the paintings of artist grAzie are witty and light-hearted deconstructions of images found in the universal library of popular culture. Her internationally renowned work draws together celebrity icons, magazines, Fashion, Pop and Music culture.
Working from photographic references, each image has been stripped back to a simpler and iconic portrayal of the subject.
grAzie's art exists at the intersection of 'Pop Art' and 'Street Art'. Recognisable images of people in popular culture are recast in vibrant, bright colours and overlaid with the energy and wit of Street Art. The result is a series of iconic images of media figures that have moved beyond the impersonal graphic simplicity of Pop Art. It's Pop Art with feeling.
