I've recently taken these three paintings to Gallerina.
They are based upon old swim-wear adverts from a 'Lastex' catalogue.

Las·tex
[las-teks]
A trademark used for a yarn having a core of elastic rubber wound with rayon, nylon, silk, or cotton threads.

I always like vintage adverts highlighting a new technology for the time, that we now all take for granted!
The first two paintings were exhibited in an art exhibition in Bath last year which was based around fashion.

The paintings are currently for sale from Gallerina & for any more information do contact the gallery here
