Original artwork description:

A gift I received for Christmas in 2020 was a photography book called Launderama, in which photographer Joshua Blackburn documents London's approximately 400 still-operational launderettes. Having always been always fascinated by nostalgic city scenes, I loved the book and immediately set out to create a painting based on this concept. _x000D_ _x000D_ My launderette (or laundromat) painting isn't based on any particular photo - instead it's taken the best of many of the details you'd see in a standard example. I used appealing pastel turquoise and yellows for the machines, contrasted against a classic black and white tiled floor. _x000D_ _x000D_ The end result is a pleasing piece of retro pop art that would brighten up any room in the house. _x000D_ _x000D_ It is painted in acrylics on thick high quality A4 paper. PLEASE NOTE: the painting doesn't come framed, but I've taken photos of it in a black A4 frame for display purposes._x000D_ Size -_x000D_ 8.3 inches x 11.7 inches_x000D_ 21 cm x 29 cm_x000D_ Roughly 1mm thick_x000D_ _x000D_ I've been inspired to create work like this by classic pop artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Patrick Caulfield._x000D_ _x000D_ Postage will be first class and tracked, in a cardboard envelope and a plastic wallet for full protection.
