This original stencil painting by Melbourne artist Geoff Cunningham captures the nostalgic character of Australian neighbourhoods and everyday childhood moments of the 1970s and 80's. Geoff blends hand-cut stencils and layered spray techniques to create bold light, shadow and detail. Each piece celebrates the warmth, simplicity and familiarity of retro Australian life.
"
'Boys Light Up' captures the golden hour of Australian surf culture — sun-bleached hair, striped boardies, salt on skin and that laconic grin that says "is there anything else you'd rather be doing?" This piece is about freedom — the easy rhythm of summer when everything feels simple and the waves go on forever."
65 x 85cm (68 x 88 framed), Acrylic & aerosol on canvas, this piece is framed in a sleek low profile natural oak floating frame.
