Hunto – Mae West (Front)

Description

Hunto’s striking canvas painted for GraffitiStreet X: A DECADE pays homage to the surreal legacy of Salvador Dalí during his residency at Edward James’ estate in West Dean, Chichester. This vibrant dyptch artwork serves as a colourful exploration of eccentricity, blending Hunto’s bold graffiti style with the elements that filled Dalí’s visionary creations. At the centre of the piece lies a vivid reinterpretation of the iconic Mae West sofa, its curvaceous lines and form evoking the sensuality and drama of Mae West’s iconic red lips. Surrounding the Dali influence are bold colours and shapes, imbued with the energy of East London. This artwork is also steeped in a rich historical context that honours Dalí’s pioneering spirit, creating a dialogue between the past and present.
