Creating a whole new generation of chronically addicted social dribblers, intent on sharing their mundane day to day frivolity (self included in posting this!)\u00a0 These new forms of communication,\u00a0 just had to be incorporated into my artwork. The &#8216;mechanical Cockatoos&#8217; were instigated by a request for a commission from one of my clients, which led to three paintings being produced.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outbackart.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/cockathree-sm.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[gallery-jxkI]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52\" title=\"cockathree-sm\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.outbackart.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/cockathree-sm.jpg?w=298\" width=\"298\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8216;Cockathree&#8217;\u00a0 12&#215;12 inches acrylic on linen<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outbackart.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/critical-updates-sm.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[gallery-jxkI]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-54\" title=\"critical-updates-sm\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.outbackart.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/critical-updates-sm.jpg?w=297\" width=\"297\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8216;Downloading critical updates&#8217; 12&#215;12 inches acrylic on linen<\/p>\n<p>This is a new work added today.\u00a0 The title is &#8220;Climate change idyll&#8221;, 22 x 40 inches acrylic on Belgian linen.<\/p>\n<p>This is a continuation of my &#8216;industrial nude theme&#8217; with elements of the &#8216;Asian kitsch&#8217; paintings I have been doing recently.
