CHRISTIAN MONTONE
"Bunny Trike" (1996)
Approx. size: 22 x 22 inches. Acrylic on compressed board.
This piece was painted on pre-printed compressed board that was pulled from a remodeling/construction site by my friend Jon. It's a 1960s Kay-Bee Toy Store Student Science Accesories point-of-purchase display backboard that ended up informing my color choices for the painting. As I had been doing for months, I was once again depicting (and working to give an animated, humanized feel to) another one of the many vintage toys I had begun collecting.
