In The Soup - Scot's Blue

Size:32 x 48 in.

Harry Bunce’s In the Soup - Scot's Blue (25" x 41") blends nostalgia, satire, and contemporary pop art influences into a striking visual statement. The painting presents a charming yet subversive image - a wide-eyed rabbit peeks out from a tin of "McGregor’s Condensed Rabbit Soup", referencing both Beatrix Potter’s classic Peter Rabbit and Warhol’s iconic soup can imagery. The juxtaposition of innocence and dark humour underlines Bunce’s distinctive artistic voice, which combines illustration, street art, and fine art with a wry, often mischievous, sense of humour.

Bunce has developed a cult following for his unconventional, rural-inspired pop art, earning comparisons to both Banksy and Quentin Tarantino. His work is a fusion of childhood nostalgia and modern irreverence, drawing inspiration from classic illustrators like Richard Scarry and Dr. Seuss, alongside contemporary urban artists.

Based in Somerset, he remains a passionate advocate for wildlife conservation, often using his work to raise environmental awareness. His paintings and sculptures have gained widespread recognition, with collectors including BBC presenter Julia Bradbury and reggae producer Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. Bunce’s work continues to challenge perceptions, offering a playful yet thought-provoking commentary on modern culture and consumerism.
