Film set Painting

This work was inspired by the quote "It's like a film set except it's real" from JG Ballard's book "Super Cannes". The painting aims to create a still and almost untouched scene, that is pristine yet somewhat lived in. The colour scheme chosen was deliberately cold on the exterior and warm on the interior creating an interesting and nearly contradictory climate for this scene to set place in. The oil paint on canvas creates a smooth cohesive atmosphere in which the viewer can comfortably plant themselves to create their own narrative.
