I do recommend that the really really big ones, some of the heavier pieces and some of the specialist pieces, such as pallets be installed by a professional hanger. Most of my paintings arrive ready to hang. My spunky wife Wendy is CFO and runs a lot of the “day to days” including logistics, leaving me to answer enquiries and do that other important part.painting! In that time, I have now sold over 5000 pieces globally, with pieces in collections in some 30 countries.and of course most of them have been at the larger end of the scale. I have been a full-time artist for 10 years now and feel blessed that I can do this wonderful thing for a job. Did I mention I love commissions? So, if you would like a similar piece to this one, different sizes, colours formats etc, just hit me up! I’d love to hear what you have in mind. I take my depth of canvas to a different level believing a canvas has 5 sides and should be painted and finished as such. Like my other styles, they are created on a 40mm frame wrapped in linen, with a gloss coat of varnish and gallery finished edges. I spend A LOT of time on these!! But they take me back to my graphics roots. These pieces are created by hand and can, using acrylics, sugar sprays and often incorporate multi piece detailed stencil work. They can be personalized more than any other style I work in. a bit sexy sometimes, a bit naughty, a bit of fun and hopefully a few memories. These pieces are intended to be nothing too serious. Like all Pop art, my Frankos touch on “Popular Culture” and feature all kinds of things from our youths and experiences thru out life, to the things we buy, watch, love and feel. Layering is an integral part of all of my art, be it abstracts, Abstract Realism, Book clubs or Urban Pop. I use a lot of this for balance, layering and colour within the canvas as well. Throughout these pieces, you will see disingenuous tags like “Genuine Romance” “ 1800-True Love” “Never seen before” “This will change your life” “Genuine Taste” etc etc to poke a bit of fun at the constant bombardment we all get of things that are bordering on truth and outright pulling the other leg. I use some forms of Brandalism to replicate advertising on walls. I create all of my “Urban Pop” pieces with a partial textured base and in a grungy manner to replicate something of an “urban” wall type look. This funky Monopoly Man painting would look fabulous in any modern chic home or office!!!! Shades of black, white, grey, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and gold and featured on this piece!!!! Money money money!!! Free money LOL, when does that ever happen?
