Original artwork description:

As soon as I saw some triangle shaped canvases I knew I had to buy them and adapt my pop art food series to fit the new shape. Straight away I knew I wanted one of them to be a juicy slice of watermelon as it's always been my favourite fruit.

I used the canvas to create a whole art object rather than simply a painting of it, so the shape of the canvas matches the shape of the subject in a bold way. That's why the design goes around the edge as pictured.

I love painting and illustrating food in a simple, bold and bright style that is heavily influenced by classic pop art and modern graphic design, and this canvas is no different. I'm less concerned with realism in my art, more with creating direct, memorable images that you'll want to hang in your home.

It is painted on hessian canvas that's ready to hang as the colours go around the edge. I've included a picture of me holding the canvas to give an idea of the relative size. The painting is signed and dated on the back as pictured.

I've been inspired to create work like this by classic pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, and more modern artists/designers like Kate Moross and Pete Fowler.
