Silly Sunny Summer
acrylic paint on paper, 84×59,4 cm
Open Studio Poster Series
Summer shows up unbothered.
Hair still damp, sugar on the lips, rules already forgotten.
Silly Sunny Summer is joy as resistance. A soft, silly, deliberate refusal to behave. She doesn’t fight the system head-on — she laughs at it, melts in front of it.
In a world obsessed with control, her pleasure becomes power.
Created as the poster artwork for the Summer Open Studio 2025, this piece was born in open doors, shared air, and bodies moving freely through the studio.
This artwork holds that energy: messy joy, chosen softness, unapologetic pleasure.
Hang it as a reminder that resistance doesn’t always scream — sometimes it giggles, drips, and refuses to be serious.
