The Tradie Summer Break

Chris Thomas, The Tradie Summer Break, posca paint pen on canvas

In this comical depiction of summer, Thomas pieces together a scene - the boogie board, pizza box and curiously hungry seagulls all surround a badly tanned and burning tradie kicking back with a few beers. The bright flat colours allow for the very neapolitan-tanned tradie and his various belongings to become a snapshot of every tradie’s dream, if not in Bali why not our beaches!
