The array of neon signs clarifies which part of London we are in and the environment in which she finds herself. There is a classical look to her which presents a rich contrast with the brashness of her Soho surroundings and there is also a lightness to this painting, a humour which offsets the deeper themes - the ‘Bada Bing’ sign and Mickey Mouse with his tongue hanging out. Yes, much like the many signs that surround her, she shines! \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis collection, looking at social media vanity, could not be better supported by this image of exhibitionism\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e, the woman in my painting is a priestess, a beautiful siren who knows exactly what she is doing and why she is doing it.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hamish Blakely","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56599778853213,"sku":"HBL-ORI-POR-17619","price":2612500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1906\/6461\/files\/hbl-shine.jpg?v=1745936934","url":"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/en-jp\/products\/hamish-blakely-shine-hamish-blakely","provider":"Castle Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
