  • Studio Bottom Draw Artwork

Theatrical Scene with changing views of musical performance.
(Old school design technique. Cut-out and overlay)

Originally designed as a hand painted canvas backdrop wraparound.
The window and  door cutouts are supported with concealed wood or aluminum frames.
The changing views are individual canvas hand painted backdrops flow out to reveal next scene.
Of course, in this modern day the hand painted canvas would be replaced by digitally printed polyester.
The changing scenes would be produced by video rear screen projection or hi-res video tile.
The floor is hand painted Marley dance floor.

In all there are eight different architectural styles used.
Early Greek, Classic Rome, Rural Spanish, Persian, English Art Deco Japanese Furniture , Tudor, French Louis.
Plus one Albanian hillside village, A Flash Gordon sky. Star-scape reminiscent of my Hawkwind days.
