Here, Hamish Blakely has revisited his outstanding collection, Out of Work Angels, where he explored the concept of classical angels in contemporary settings. What's more, in this original oil painting he has portrayed the celestial being in an attic wearing an Adidas sweatshirt which is also characteristic of his iMasterpiece collection. Exploring contemporary culture through a classical lens, Hamish contrasts the imagery of Old Masters with those of popular culture. The result is a thought-provoking, satirical work of art that has the beauty and elegance of a neo-classical painting. Offset by the warmer tones of the wall and floorboards, the light blue colours of the angel highlight her magical form and are complimented by the black textured, radiata pine frame; adding an elegant touch to any home.
