About the Work
“This
painting
in
the
pop
art
style
is
a
symbol
of
my
new
life
and
home
in
Castlecliff,
Whanganui.
My
partner
Scott
Redding
and
myself
have
acquired
one
similar.
It
symbolises
our
new
life
after
having
left
the
hustle
of
city
life
in
Melbourne.”
Phil Stokes, a leading glass artist who works between Whanganui and Melbourne, for the February 2020 instalment of the My Choice exhibition series.
Working with the tradition of Surrealism and Pop art, Watkins' constructed, ready-made images are, as Gordon H. Brown noted, 'a setting for the banality of conventional life where allusions to the dreams and reality of romance abound'.
