Desmond and Molly

Description

“Desmond and Molly” 40” X 30” X 2” Mixed Media on a Cradled Wood Panel, Framed “Desmond has his barrow in the marketplace, Molly is the singer in a band.” - The Beatles "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" is often the subject of ridicule. In 2004, it was included in Blender magazine's list titled "50 Worst Songs Ever!" and was voted the worst song of all time in an online poll organized by Mars The playful, geometric style and warm color palette evoke a sense of carefree joy and rhythm, reflecting the song's upbeat and repetitive chorus. The relaxed poses of the figures and the lively background convey a sense of uncomplicated happiness and everyday life, in line with the song’s message of enjoying the simple, rhythmic flow of life and love This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of "Faces and Facades," a series of mixed media paintings where people and places intertwine, with architecture serving as a vessel for unseen narratives. Inspired by characters from Beatles songs, each work aims to evoke the stories and emotions hidden beneath the surface, inviting viewers to look beyond the obvious and discover the deeper layers within.
