LushSux (b.1973)
"Lush Throwies"
Signed and dated 2017, 1/1 original, a modified thrift store painting, 24cm by 19cm
An original painting by the Australian street art bad boy LushSux. This piece is a modified thrift store painting featuring his Lush throw-up signature. Four miniature figures placed around the edge of the frame seem to be painting the Lush signatures. This piece is part of an ongoing series of paintings first exhibited at Banksy's dystopian Dismaland theme park in Weston Super Mare in 2015. In 2017 Banksy invited Lush to be the artist in residence at his newly opened Walled Off Hotel in Palestine, where he created numerous large-scale pieces on the separation wall. This untitled painting is signed by the artist on the back and dated 2017.
