Polly Folly 19/25

Size:40 x 45 in.

Dom Pattinson’s Polly Folly 19/25 is a vibrant and mischievous celebration of colour, character and contrast. Three parrots perch along an angular network of silhouetted branches, their forms created through layers of stencil, spray paint and expressive overpainting. Against a luminous gold background, their plumage bursts with a riot of turquoise, pink, yellow and inky black, giving each bird a distinct personality. Soft pink blossoms punctuate the composition, their delicate petals juxtaposed with the parrots’ bold, street-art energy. Pattinson’s signature blend of playful imagery and striking graphic structure is unmistakable, as he balances elegance with a rebellious visual wit.

The artist’s world travels and early exposure to propaganda and political murals inform his instinct for imagery that commands attention while inviting humour and reflection. Although now a highly collected contemporary figure with global exhibitions and a stellar celebrity following, Pattinson retains the raw immediacy of a street artist. His work draws upon influences ranging from Warhol to Hirst, yet he uses these references not to imitate but to subvert, offering fresh commentary through repetition, colour and symbolic motifs.

Polly Folly 19/25 exemplifies Pattinson’s ability to craft art that is joyful, incisive and innately conversational, transforming a simple perch into a lively tableau of personality and charm.
