sean molloy

Old meets new… and they fall madly in love! This is the work of Irish artist Sean Molloy … he paints very traditional, formal subject matter below the surface, and then POP! – graphic, colorful patterns right on top of all of it. Ah yes, a beautiful marriage of past and present. LOVE!

    I love it when artists are brave enough to “mess up” their work. These turned out really cool.

    yes! good point lee! with such a gorgeous underlayer it must be a tiny bit scary to start adding diamonds and dots 🙂

    Quirky! Maybe it’s less frightening AFTER putting the dots, stripes or diamonds 😉
