About the Item
"The Big Tickle" by renowned contemporary artist Ian Shults is a bold, large-scale figurative painting that fuses vintage cinematic glamour with modern Neo-Pop abstraction. Measuring 60 x 48 inches (152 x 122 cm), this commanding artwork is executed in oil and acrylic on canvas, featuring Shults' signature mix of dynamic brushwork, fractured geometry, and striking color accents.
A captivating interplay of black, white, and deep grayscale is punctuated by high-impact flashes of orange, creating a composition that feels both cinematic and graphic. The piece is bisected by gestural white and black lines, evoking both tension and movement—an abstract scaffolding that both disrupts and frames the central figures. Themes of desire, tension, and modern mythologies pulse through the scene, inviting viewers into a narrative that feels both nostalgic and distinctly contemporary.
Physically, the painting’s surface is rich with texture—visible brushstrokes, layered acrylic, and oil interplay, giving the canvas a tactile, visceral energy. Shults’ technique balances painterly realism with bold graphic abstraction, offering depth that rewards both close inspection and distance viewing.
A powerful statement piece, "The Big Tickle" is perfectly suited for contemporary residential interiors, luxury commercial spaces, or curated hospitality environments. Ideal for clients seeking impactful contemporary figurative art, this work complements modern, eclectic, mid-century, industrial, and gallery-style interiors. Highly sought after by art collectors, interior designers, and art advisors for its ability to inject boldness, narrative intrigue, and visual sophistication into any space.
