THE MODERN LOVERS There will be approximately 15 Individual 7 ft. by 5 ft. paintings shown in the main gallery space. The paintings all join up to make one large comic strip that can be viewed around the whole gallery. The paintings are based on a comic character in a well-known comic called "The Beano" from England where the artist grew up reading tales of these colourful stories. The paintings focus on "Minnie the Minx", a naughty school girl whose main goal in life is to get into trouble and avoiding punishment for her rebellious ways. She wears a black beret with an orange pom pom on top and a black and orange striped jumper. In the original comic strip, Minnie the Minx spends her days plotting schemes to get extra pocket money to buy more sweets and yummy cake. She is also known to throw water balloons at the innocent children around her. These large scale paintings, however, are based on Minnie the Minx dealing with slightly more adult issues (but, not much). Same character but, not so much "minxing" rather, more of her comments on living in New York City as a grown up, outsider and most definitely a stranger to what is going on around her as an adult. All of this delightfully painted in a comic strip style.
