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.

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.

The end result is a pleasing piece of retro pop art that would brighten up any room in the house.

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.
Size -
8.3 inches x 11.7 inches
21 cm x 29 cm
Roughly 1mm thick

I've been inspired to create work like this by classic pop artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Patrick Caulfield.

Postage will be first class and tracked, in a cardboard envelope and a plastic wallet for full protection.

Materials used:

Paint, Paper, Posca Paint Pen
