A mixed media acrylic and pencil artwork by American artist John McCormack.
After working for LEGO for 17 years, John brings a unique perspective to his cartoon-inspired original paintings.
Inspired by Abstract Impressionism and his young daughter’s artistic self-expression, his paintings allow the original pencil sketches to live in the layers of paint. Recognisable characters are presented as both entire beings and a unique combination of shapes, patterns and colour.
This piece is influenced by the LEGO Ideas 21306 The Beatles Yellow Submarine edition, which was released in the USA in November 2016. Starring the Fab Four – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr – it transports viewers to the fantastical Pepperland seen in the 1968 hit film, Yellow Submarine.
