'Soft Serve'

Stencilchrome series

'Soft Serve' transforms the classic Mr Whippy handover into a hand-painted object artwork, presented as an oversized vintage slide. Cropped to the exact moment of exchange, the piece captures the excitement of Australian summer nostalgia, suburban childhood, and one of the simplest rituals of retro Australian life.

There is also a playful nod to Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam in the near-touching hands — only here, the moment of revelation arrives in the form of a soft serve cone. Humorous, nostalgic and instantly recognisable, Soft Serve turns a fleeting childhood memory into a bold contemporary wall piece.

Part painting, part object, the work is designed to feel like an enlarged vintage transparency and can stand alone or sit beautifully as part of a grouped Stencilchrome hang.
