Too Cool for School is an original Australian stencil artwork by Melbourne artist Geoff Cunningham, capturing the sunbleached attitude of a scruffy beach kid in oversized sunglasses. Part of the Summer Lovin’ collection, the piece draws on the carefree spirit of 1970s and 80s Australian summers - salty hair, faded T-shirts, long hot afternoons and just enough cheek to suggest he’s probably not where he’s meant to be. With its clean blue background, bold crop and laid-back swagger, Too Cool for School turns a fleeting childhood memory into a graphic, nostalgic portrait. It’s playful without being sugary, and familiar in the way the best summer memories are - hazy summer sunlight, freedom, and that feeling that school was a very distant problem. 40 x 40cm (43 x 43cm framed) Acrylic & aerosol on canvas. This piece is framed in a natural oak floating frame.
