Summer Tunes

Size:34 x 46 in.

Jonjo Elliott’s original painting Summer Tunes (28" x 40") is a vibrant celebration of music, creativity, and summer energy. Set against a sunny yellow backdrop, this dynamic composition features a joyful stack of books, records, speakers, and flourishing houseplants, all rendered in Elliott’s unmistakable hand-drawn style. Bold outlines, punchy colours, and graphic floral motifs create a visual rhythm that feels both spontaneous and harmonious.

The bookshelves brim with references to Ibiza, Malibu, Basquiat, Hockney, and Laurel Canyon—evoking a heady mix of cultural hotspots, music scenes, and artistic icons. Interspersed throughout are stylised record players, vintage speakers, and lush potted plants that trail and bloom across the surface, adding movement and texture. White blossoms link the elements, suggesting sound waves or the connective flow of creative energy.

Summer Tunes reflects Jonjo’s ability to fuse personal memory with pop-cultural reverence. Drawing inspiration from music, design, and nature, his work pulses with life and optimism. This painting invites viewers into a world where sound and colour merge—a vibrant interior brimming with warmth, rhythm, and artistic joy. As with all his work, it is a deeply personal yet universally uplifting piece, rich in narrative and full of expressive charm.
