An award-winning double-exposure oil painting masterpiece inspired by the song “Horror Movie” by Skyhooks,
fusing gritty 1970s glam-punk attitude with social satire and surreal unease.
The central figure is a wide-eyed viewer—face bathed in flickering light from a television screen—mouth slightly agape,
as if caught between laughter and horror.
His or her features are twisted in unnatural shadow and glare,
becoming a canvas for the nightmare onscreen.
Within the contours of their face and wide,
screen-lit eyes,
the second image emerges: a series of overlapping horror scenes unfolding inside the silhouette in vivid,
chaotic brushstrokes.
Scenes of corrupt politicians,
televised violence,
fake smiles from news anchors,
and melting suburban houses erupt in crimson,
black,
electric blue,
and sickly neon green.
These images are exaggerated,
warped—half B-movie,
half modern prophecy.
The TV screen itself sits in the background,
glowing like an altar,
wires tangled like veins into the room.
Around it,
a faded 1970s lounge—ashtray full,
lava lamp bubbling,
floral wallpaper peeling—becomes a shrine to consumer apathy and pop culture rot.
The viewer sits surrounded by it all,
both a victim and a willing participant.
The colour palette is jarring and wild: harsh reds and oranges scream across desaturated flesh tones and vintage avocado green,
while deep shadows drip with oily blues and blacks.
Thick,
chaotic brushstrokes and gritty textures reflect the frenzied distortion of media overload and creeping cultural decay.
This is satire in oil—a visual scream trapped in the box you never turn off.
A painting that’s not just inspired by the song,
but feels like it was made by it.
