SERENDIPITY #12 NO EXIT

​​​By happy coincidence - serendipity! - (I will get tired of this, but not before you) the exhibition is on for 23 days and since there are 23 paintings, for the sheer hell of it I will be posting about a painting every day throughout . . . ​​​

NO EXIT Acrylic and mixed media on canvas 42 x 60cm. Also available as a limited edition 42x60cm print.

NO EXIT! Relax, Enjoy it's all going to be alright. Channelling the spirit of Noir and layering the story in a neo-cubist style, over-lapping lips and lust, one shocked dog, smoking and sultriness. After awful puns, alliteration always comes second, even if you have to  screw around with the grammar. 
Another graphic coming together from a 40s dog, a 50s comic book, a 60s smoking ad. and NO EXIT - the outer circle of Regent's park - 'til after 7am. Numerical serendipity split by the lips from the 00s.
I am aware that these 'explanations' are just turning into lists of references. To be honest it is a bit hard trying to remember what was bouncing inside my brain some months ago. And even if I could, who the fuck, including me, cares!? Let's have some music instead . . .
