Tripp (2026) Original Oil Painting by Laura Mead

25.5 x 30 x 0.4cm (unframed)

£668.03

Tripp explores the fragile boundary between innocence, mutation, and imagination. Rendered with luminous, candy-like surfaces and a dreamlike palette, the figure appears both childlike and otherworldly—part unicorn, part creature, part emotional landscape. Eyes emerge where they should not exist, watching from unexpected places, while translucent forms and floating colours suggest a mind overflowing with sensation, curiosity, and uncertainty.

The work invites viewers to confront the tension between attraction and discomfort. Tripp’s oversized gaze asks to be understood, yet its distorted anatomy resists easy interpretation. Rather than depicting a monster, the painting celebrates difference, transformation, and the strange beauty found in imperfection.

Influenced by surrealism, pop aesthetics, and lowbrow art traditions, Tripp reflects on the fluid nature of identity. The character exists in a space where vulnerability and resilience coexist, embodying the experience of feeling unusual, exposed, and deeply seen all at once. Through glossy textures, exaggerated features, and playful absurdity, the painting encourages viewers to embrace the bizarre corners of imagination and the unexpected forms that emerge from them.
