Description
This artwork inspired by the Oasis song title Wonderwall. It features stuff that has meant something to me over the years - some has meant a great deal too. Its my choice, its not meant to connect with everyone but thats kind of the point. Our musical tastes differ from one to another and this artwork is meant to celebrate that. The scruffy squat location has no special significance other than to suggest that music is something we can all enjoy regardless of who we are or where we find ourselves. Its the great common denominator.
I resisted the urge to add Man City related things (I am a red!). The Gallagher brothers will know what that means for damn sure but with respect to them I have set an extract of their lyrics on a light blue backdrop!.
It mostly features my own artwork and to give it some modern relevance includes some AI generated portraits too.
