“This scene was one that I stumbled across in Newmarket earlier this year. The thing that immediately grabbed my attention was seeing how small older cars used to be, particularly with this 1972 Morris sandwiched between the two modern SUV’s.
I liked the symmetry this arrangement of cars brought to the scene, not to mention the deep blue sky contrasting well against the bright orange subject car.”
Nostalgic 3D wall sculpture – Acrylic and Resin on wood panel
Are music and art two of your passions? If so then this artwork by ClintC combines both and also takes you back in time while doing so.
This larger than life giant 3D cassette tape is so realistic it even has actual tape that can hang out and the glass like resin finish adds loads of reflections to truly bring out the sculptural elements within the piece.
This painting was inspired by “The Chronicles of Narnia”, which has been a rich source of inspiration with its magical world, whimsical characters, and adventurous stories. The work conveys a sense of wonder and excitement, and the thrill of discovering a hidden, magical world just beyond ordinary reality.
Oil on canvas
“Natural Quatrefoilic Bloom” is part of a comprehensive series of shell works manifesting beauty in symmetry, texture and homogeneity. This piece is the first enlarged version of the quatrefoil shape, much to the inspiration of Max Gilbert. Harmonising with the organic, petal-like attributes found in the symbol of a quatrefoil, the meticulous organisation of the shells simultaneously alludes to an evolution and a reincarnation through the rebirth of the ocean’s skeletons – a found beauty, beneath the feet of beach-goer, eroding, crushing and disintegrating into sand.
Neon-Green Bloom is part of a series of blazing and blooming cast acrylic sculptures. Embracing the themes of folding and fluorescence, the mirror effect applied to the thermoplastic manifests a metallic nature. Being bold and quirky, Neon-Green Bloom is the perfect sculpture to lighten up a space with greeny, yellow tinges.
