Request Artwork - Darkside
Hand-signed oil on canvas by FunnyTummy.
Confronting the tension between vulnerability and power, FunnyTummy portrays a nude ballerina wearing a Darth Vader mask. The elegant, fragile figure contrasts with the cold, anonymous and imposing nature of the mask.
Setting the ballerina against a graffitied background, FunnyTummy intensifies the clash between classical beauty and the raw energy of urban rebellion. ‘Darkside’ challenges the viewer to question the boundaries between identity and conformity, grace and strength, and intimacy and anonymity. Offering a striking commentary on the complexities of the human spirit, the artwork explores how opposing forces coexist and shape who we are.

The artist
FunnyTummy
FunnyTummy - a name born from a teenage joke about being 'sick' at art, because 'when you're sick, you get a funny tummy' - has since become synonymous with a bold, multi-faceted artistic vision. Working across oil, ink, contemporary, abstract, portraiture, and traditional art, he has carved a unique space in the creative world.
