Stencilchrome series

'The Great Australian Pyramid' transforms the classic Sunnyboy ice block into a hand-painted object artwork, presented as an oversized vintage slide. With its unmistakable triangular shape, faded paper wrapper and bright blue background, the piece captures the graphic charm of one of the most recognisable icons of Australian childhood nostalgia.

For plenty of Australians, the Sunnyboy was less an ice block and more a test of endurance: too frozen to bite, nearly impossible to open, and somehow still worth the effort every single time. Playful, familiar and instantly readable, The Great Australian Pyramid celebrates a small but unforgettable piece of retro Australian life, turning a humble Australian ice block into original nostalgic wall art.

Part painting, part object, the work is designed to feel like an enlarged vintage transparency — a nostalgic snapshot of Australian childhood reimagined as contemporary wall art. Each work in the Stencilchrome series is designed to stand alone or sit beautifully as part of a grouped hang.

Is this an Original Artwork?

Yes. This is an original one-off artwork by Geoff Cunningham. I may create related pieces from the same stencil set, but each work is made unique through changes in colour, cropping, composition and narrative.

Is this artwork signed, framed and ready to hang?

Every piece is hand-signed on the front and features my distinctive stencil logo on the back, authenticating each work as an original. Most of my pieces are already framed. For most unframed works, you can add framing at checkout if desired.
