With their Warhol-esque construct, these paintings look great alone with the sandwich floating in its own gravity, or as part of a larger set. Arranged in a quad, this display is nine by nine feet and dominates the gallery wall. The lighting beautifully picks out the multiple layers and drips of these paintings which look good enough to devour.
"IT'S-IT, Naughty Negroni". 48x48 oil on canvas. Your friends have gone home and it's just you and a loved one enjoying a final drink as the clock is about to chime midnight. Sumptuous, rich tones layered against the deep indigo of night. It's midnight under moonlight.
'IT'S-IT, WANDERLUST AND DESERT DUST". 48x48 oil on canvas. It's a cheeky weekend down in Palm Springs where anything goes. The desert palette melting like an ice cream on the canvas.
"Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside".
Coco Chanel.
Here's a painting full of rich, chocolatey colors with a pistachio creaminess in the middle that's good enough to eat.
"IT'S-IT, Hackney Diamonds + Salad Days" 48x48 mixed media on canvas. That week when you see The Rolling Stones in San Jose and Mac DeMarco at The Greek. A mix of collage, oil paint, spray paint and oil sticks - as eclectic as the contrasting tastes in music.
"IT'S-IT, Skinny Dip". 48x48 oil on canvas. Nothing beats whipping your clothes off, letting it all hang out and launching yourself into water. Cool-pool colors of turquoise, cobalt blue and white take the edge off the summer heat. It's back to nature and pure unadulterated fun. Unless of course someone uninvited is watching.
I love black. It’s slimming. Even with a delicious It’s-It ice cream sandwich. This painting is made with gloopy rich layers of house paints and oils, creating depth and texture throughout this 40×40” piece. The background black is glossy and offset by the deep darkest black acrylic in the type and body of the sandwich. It’s rather dark, but as Morticia Adam’s beautifully put it, “black is my happy color”.
