Pastel on paper, 16 × 24cm
Archie Franks is a British painter whose works explore familiar cultural motifs such the fairground, puddings and football. Memory, decadence, and a heightened sense of unreality permeate his imagery, often revealing the haunting undertones that nostalgia can evoke.
Archie's inspirations include the atmospheric lighting in Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s paintings, modern advertisements for food, and Caravaggio’s iconic still lives.
. The deeply traditional - and frequently violent - Punch and Judy puppets represent perfect subject matter for Archie’s work, which blends clown-like playfulness with darker undertones.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
