'The Meaning of Life' (Le Sens de la Vie)
We're all just blue cats on roller skates with internal wiring we don't quite understand.
We spend so much time looking at others, thinking they've got it all figured out. In reality? We're all just improvising.
This piece is about the beauty of that confusion, and the constant contemplation (is that mouse looking at a power point or the secrets of the universe?).
Set against a high-voltage yellow, this original painting is a daily reminder that it's okay if you're still figuring out where your plug goes.
The original master painting. While various editions allow this image to exist in many places at once, this canvas is the singular, hand-painted real deal.

Framing +
Float framing is a modern, gallery-style finish that adds structural depth while keeping the focus entirely on the canvas. The artwork sits slightly separated within the border, creating a delicate, even gap around the edges so the canvas appears to "float" inside the timber.
- Unframed Finish: Premium stretched canvas with a finished edge, fully strung and wired.
- Local Craftsmanship: Every floating frame is bespoke and handcrafted to order in Melbourne to elevate your chosen artwork.
SHIPPING +
Complimentary Delivery: Standard Australian shipping routes are completely covered and 100% fully insured.
Dispatch Timeline: Unframed artworks are securely dispatched within 5 business days. If custom floating framing is requested, please allow up to a two-week dispatch window.
