Economy Class - Chubby Art by Alison Galvan


Economy Class has newspaper armature, is sculpted using Sculptamold, a paper & Gypsum compound, & painted with Acrylics on a 36x48 wood panel.

Inspired by my own experiences of airplane travel and the multitudinous stories that appear on the internet of other peoples trials and tribulations. Air travel in todays world is just one of those things that you must have a sense of humour about because invariably you are in situations that if you don't laugh, you will break down and cry, commit hari kari, and be on news at 11. I chose to laugh myself (and paint humourous paintings to poke fun at the whole insane situation!)
