Giraffe

This is my 1st February custom finished. It is dip dyed in fibre reactive dyes, and hand painted with artist quality acrylic paints.
I really love the innocence and childlikeness captured in this painting, which is synonymous with my style. I like to call it 'naive lines'. Naive lines gives the impression of movement, and a certain awkwardness to the painting reminiscent of surrealism. There is also a pop art element in there with the bold colours, lines and shapes similar to illustration techniques.
I think my style doesn't quite fit in the definition of other art styles, therefore I am still trying to define it.
