SOPHIE LA GIRAFE is an iconic French teething toy that basically EVERY French baby has owned for the past 50 years. I paint in a style I call "RETRO POP" and this is the perfect subject for me.... Using the iconic Girafe image and shape - but playing with it. Here I imagined that SOPHIE is now a rebellious teenager - with a punk vibe - tattoed, pierced and spunk - hanging out in the Belleville neighborhood of Paris - by the AUX FOLIES bar where all the sprayers and models mix... This painting has multiple layers of paint and is a rough artwork - mimicking graffiti art on a textured wall. The canvas is gallery wrapped. The artwork is wired and ready to hang. Tagged "DE" in the front and signed and dated in the back. There will be a whole series of SOPHIE paintings - this is my very first one. Please Note - all artworks are sprayed with museum quality archival fixative and are sent with a hand written thank you note and certificate of authenticity.

Quoting Paul Klee: "A line is a dot that went for a walk"...
