"Cruising The Strip" is a vibrant exploration of nostalgia and contemporary commentary, presented in a striking mixed media collage. Measuring 36 x 24 inches, this piece captivates with its dynamic interplay of printed aluminum, printed and tissue papers, and acrylic paint. At its heart is a stylized, sexy, female figure—turned away, adorned in high heels—immersed within a compelling scene that radiates both energy and introspection.

The figure stands beside a meticulously detailed blue convertible car, a nod to bygone eras, its design sharp and evocative of cherished memories. This nostalgic vehicle is set against a backdrop filled with iconic Hollywood symbols, such as the renowned Hollywood sign and stately palm trees, each element pulsating with vibrant colors and energetic movement.

The artwork draws viewers into a world where pop art meets surrealism, conveyed through a bold palette and expressive forms. Its inspiration stems from a blend of sources: the whimsical yet nostalgic aura of the Barbie Movie, the sobering impact of recent wildfires, and a contemplation of societal shifts around gender dynamics. The collage juxtaposes longing for the past with critical reflection, addressing themes of chauvinism and evolving roles.

Ready to Hang - The artwork needs no visible framing.  It comes with a back float mount attached to the aluminum panel.  It hangs from the lip of the back floating mount.  A French cleat or (also called a Z-Clip Mount) is provided.
