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.
"If you grew up in the Aussie suburbs or in the country, you’ll remember this feeling — the thrill of swinging around on the Hills Hoist, yelling your lungs out while your mates egged you on. I can almost hear my Mum yelling at me to "get off the bloody clothes line!" 'Hang Time' captures that fearless, sun-drenched joy of being a kid in the 70's — barefoot, carefree, and a little bit wild.
It’s a celebration of backyard adventures, blue skies, and the kind of summer freedom that’s etched into our memories 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.
