'Punk Isn’t Dead' is part of a larger series of paintings based on the Metro air vents around Prague. These large and unusual structures pop up in areas of the city; all completely different in design but are in essence the same functional structures. Despite living and working in Prague, and visiting each of the vents several times, these works are painted from the black and white photographs of Cedric Bomford. This allows another level of distortion and invention to take place. The works also use Graffiti as a visual trigger; this ‘low art’ is then repackaged in the context of Oil Painting.

The image itself consists of three distinct and considered layers. Firstly the structure painted loosely in alaprima and refined with details of graffiti, Secondly the pointillist background and finally the flat oversaturated sky, which resonates with the foreground exaggerating and harmonising the colours. The painting attempts to combine these various elements of painterly language to leave the viewer with a distinctive and unfamiliar image

**This Painting is Artist quality Oils and 12oz cotton duck canvas, stretched with traditional glue size over a hand made pine stretcher bar
