What if Rey had sold BB8 for the sixty portions she was offered?
Life on Jakku is a struggle… except for the wealthy! I imagined this painting hanging in on the walls of a wealthy scrapper’s ship… boasting to the less fortunate, that not only do they have exotic foods and flowers imported from a neighboring planet, but a state-of-the-art droid to amuse them over brunch.
This sort of still life painting can seem a bit cliche nowadays. But at their peak, these 17th-century Dutch still life arrangements were full of hidden meanings intended to cause the viewer to reflect on life and consumerism. The art ranged from indulgent spreads displayed on finery which was a way of displaying ones wealth, to more humble paintings featuring simple, wholesome local produce to show one’s morality. A partially eaten piece of food or a broken glass served as a reminder of mortality and the fragility of life.
"Sixty Portions" original altered painting by Heather Castles Approx. 2 x 3 ft painting on vintage canvas + vintage frame
Shipping : This is an oversized painting, with the frame it is too large to send via normal post. I've listed this as Fedex shipping, but depending on where you are it could be less than this. If you would like to save on shipping I can ship the art without the frame...the cost of the art remains the same but the shipping costs would be significantly reduced.
