Candy Floss Face Painting on A5 Paper
Candy Floss Face Painting on A5 Paper
That feeling when you buy some candy floss, but it's bigger than your head.
This new miniature painting is inspired by both my love of sweet, unnaturally coloured food, and striped t-shirts, with the two coming together in a simple pop art style image. It wasn't until I showed the painting to my partner that she also made the comparison with the surrealist Magritte painting, the Son of Man, which features an apple obscuring a person's face instead of candy floss.
The end result is a bold, colourful piece that would look good in any room of the house, or be the ideal gift for anyone with a sweet tooth.
It is painted in acrylics on thick high quality standard-sized A5 paper.
PLEASE NOTE: the painting doesn't come framed, but I've taken photos of it in a white A4 frame for display purposes. The final image shows my sketching process to get to the final image.

My work, as ever, has been inspired by the classic pop artists like And Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as modern day graphic artists, and food packaging.
