The Fab Four by Samantha Ellis

With more than a nod and a wink to Beatlemania (as opposed to ‘Beetlemania’ – another piece of Volkswagen-inspired art that Samantha Ellis recently revealed to a contemporary still life/cityscape adoring public), Ellis’s brand new ‘The Fab Four’ illustrative study name-checks John, Paul, George and Ringo (and then immediately forgets about them) in this (sort of) visually automotive homage to Sgt Pepper. Or not as the case may be. Hypothesis aside, what we have here in the exciting artist’s latest piece is the ultimate line-up of VW camper vans; themselves made famous for being themselves, rather than the play thing of the rich and famous.

This Ellis-signed, limited edition giclee on board number is a must-have for any fans of the evergreen (and red, yellow and blue as illustrated here) camper van, and would look an absolute picture hanging from any urban living space to our mind.
