Description:
White Collar Worker is a surreal and eccentric twist on the idea of identity, labour, and how we present ourselves. What if a white collar wasn't just for office work—but for clown work? Or art work? Or any work that doesn’t fit the box?
Painted in iridescent and acrylic paints on heavyweight watercolour paper, this piece breaks the rules—just like the figure it represents. The eyes don’t line up, the colours are wild, the expression somewhere between absurdity and defiance. And that’s why I love it.
This is not your average "white collar" role—this is for the dreamers, the weirdos, the people who wear whatever collar they damn well please!
The painted area measures roughly 17 x 17 inches, and your local fine art framer can trim it to fit perfectly within a square frame/frame of your choice. It’s ready to become a bold, playful, and strangely dignified statement on your wall, with the paint changing as the sunlight hits it.
