Josh Foley's "Samuel L. Jackson"

And here is the second major attraction at Burger Junkie:

 

Earlier this year I introduced you to the work of Launceston's premier contemporary visual artist, Josh Foley. [I'll put a link below.] When the restaurant was being opened, Josh Foley was commissioned to paint a mural of the chef's favourite scene from the movie "Pulp Fiction".

 

So here we see actor Samuel L. Jackson biting into a burger. If you know Quentin Tarantino's work I won't need to say any more. If you haven't heard of this cult film, then I'm quite sure you won't like it - it's that kind of movie. Jackson himself has seen photographs of the mural and is duly impressed.

 

But this mural is outstanding. It has all the hallmarks of colour and texture that you expect in Josh Foley's work. He has a truly unique style of creating the impression of thick colourful paint, but when you examine it it's as smooth as graffiti. His ability to paint in a photo-realistic style is complemented by wonderful abstract elements.

 

Tomorrow I'll show you another wonderful Josh Foley mural around town.
