Did you notice the 70s feel to this new limited edition? The bell bottoms of the jeans, the converse trainers? (to be honest that could be any decade now with these ever popular shoes) and the girls hat that draws my imagination immediately to Eddie from Absolutely Fabulous!
Apart from being nostalgic, bright and colourful, this latest limited edition release by Davison also begins to develop from his sepia backgrounds with the addition of a yellow to match the 'Brick Road' in the film but I wonder if we will see more of these colour changes in future releases?
I really like the new feel it gives the artwork, a certain added zest.
Interesting how this new release is set against a yellow powdered background, no doubt an immediate nod to a certain yellow brick road and a certain film?
How many of us a child watched a movie and where inspired by it and wanted nothing more than to re-enact it?
The fact that this is one of the most popular Musical films of Hollywood's Golden Eras and voila you have 'Because,Because,Because,Because,BECAUSE!' As your gaze flicks from the children to the characters in the shadow, I bet you hear the song in your head in the Munchkins's voices?
A fun filled, action packed adventure, depicted on one pictorial space and not only from the title but also from the characters that each child assumes, this piece is instantly recognisable to all of us as the huge phenomenon that is the 'Wizard of OZ!.'
Complete with their very own Toto, the little rascals run towards the viewer and from the sheer delight on their faces it is clear that Davison has superbly captured the spirit and essence of youth.
This limited edition is a fabulous way to kick of his newly released Spring 2014 collection and for those Davison collectors, this is certainly a piece to take pride of place in your home!
