Jonathon Larsen’s paintings of designer chairs are rendered in fluoro colours reminiscent of a Post Pop style. These images of high design are made relatable and accessible using a cartoon-like style somewhere between Keith Haring and Walt Disney. These objects d’ art were to became chattels of an elite but Larsen’s painted representations are repurposed for a broader audience.

Opening Event: Friday 23 June, 6 – 8pm.
