1970s. This painting is a reflection on 1970’s Punk style, the alternative culture emerging in the 1970’s that shook up a whole generation, and has lived through the 80’s and onwards.

Many viewed Punk as a decadent culture with anarchic music from bands such as  The Ramones in the US and The Sex Pistols in the UK. Punk brought with it a new world of distinctive clothing , hair styles, and attitude, with designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Zandra Rhodes gaining international recognition and men matching punk female fashions with as much style and rebelliousness.

women’s V neck dark T-shirt with vintage style print by TJ Conway available now .

In contrast to the punk style, this painting shows a woman in a blue jacket. The wider lapels,  associated with the British Glam Rock scene in the early 1970s. The high waisted short skirt typical of late 70’s and 80s. After the revolution of the mini skirt in the 1960s, maxi and midi styles emerged giving women more choice than ever.

The painting titled ‘Sheena is a punk rocker’ after the Ramones classic recording, is painted in a pop art style reminiscent of Peter Blake. The T shirt with Sex pistols graffiti is based on a home made T shirt I once created with a friend in the true spirit of do-it-yourself punk fashion !

The mohawk hair style is incorporated along with tartan, leather jackets , with just a subtle hint at use of collars, studs & safety pins with the girl on left wearing a studded collar.

This work is now available as a poster and canvas print. Buy the ‘sheena’ print or  Visit the art shop to find out more.
