Stella Oakley with a model. Painting, acrylic on canvas in frame 36 x 30cm overall. This is a Painting of an Object, in this case of the small sculpture Stella Oakley, which is about automotive culture. The title is word-play because we may incorrectly assume that the woman here is Stella, and that the sculpture is the model. Stella’s oak rear deck is rendered as pink flesh. The crimson painted tray frame is part of the piece.
