This painting is a bunch of tall poppies, from the saying “tall poppy syndrome” where, commonly in Australia (I hear) the most talented and high achievers are somewhat shamed for expressing or not denying their skill, so they cut the tall poppies down to size. I started making it thinking that with all the social media giving false promises of fame everyone seems to be a “tall poppy” without showing the skill or talent that could make them special (from what I see in gen Z). Although I don't see that in the painting as I continued to finish it.
This artwork isn't one of my hand-stretched ones and always sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity!
