841 x 1189 mm on Canvas
A vibrant, nostalgic piece that invites viewers to journey back to simpler times. The piece draws its vivid colours from iconic early to late 2000s cartoons such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Pepper Ann, The Proud Family, The Powerpuff Girls, and Phineas and Ferb to name a few. These cartoons serve as a comforting reminder of carefree childhood.
This artwork is not just visual but also sentimental. I created it to evoke a sense of nostalgia and reassurance, reminding viewers that life, despite it being a literal dumpster-fire sometimes, can revert to a state of simplicity and joy reminiscent of our younger years. The pattern of squiggles within the piece is inspired by the way old sitcoms introduced memories - you know that harp sound? - that!
Created on canvas using acrylic paint, the piece features a raised texture that adds depth. The entire piece is sealed with multiple layers of resin, giving it a glossy, almost glass-like finish that enhances the vibrant colours.
"Imagine, if you will" is more than just an artwork; it is an invitation to pause, reflect, and find solace in the memories of simpler times, ensuring that the inner child in all of us remains ever-present and ever-hopeful.
