Inspired by the novel, "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World", written by Haruki Murikami, this painting is a tapestry of colour, form, layer and texture.

The contrast of pink fluorescence with rich purple and muted brown reflects the different realms of the "Hard-Boiled Wonderland" and the "End of the World” that the character navigates.

Abstract forms and fluid drips symbolize the dreamlike, fragmented and elusive quality of Murakami's narrative. As a mythical creature, the unicorn serves as a motif of the fantastical within the mundane and highlights the theme of transcendence in the novel.

Mixed media on cradled, wooden panel.
