HUGE Original Hollywood Lana Turner retro macaw jungle acrylic painting on high quality stretched canvas ready-to-hang with d-rings and picture wire.

The inspiration for my paintings is the glamour and drama of Hollywood movies of the 1940s and 50s. These movies often used expressionist lighting and camera shots. I appropriate and transform the black and white publicity stills from the films by painting them in arbitrary colours, and often placing them in incongruous and sometimes bizarre settings such as in rainforests, caves, ancient tombs, bushfires, or with exotic animals such as snakes, macaws, leopards, tigers, and spiders. My paintings are created using acrylic paints, gels and mediums and often have interesting textures and a glossy or metallic surfaces.

Huntress is a painting showing Lana Turner from the Postman Always Rings Twice against the background of a South American jungle complete with exotic plants and a leopard. She seems out of place which creates a puzzle for the viewer to solve.
