Take a look at another archived painting from Pete’s collection. This week we are getting into the groove with ‘Desperately Seeking Tina’. A dazzling depiction of 80s fashion and the importance of bringing bold glamour to everyday life. ‘The 80’s seemed like a unique time for fashion. We were all searching for our tribes and the pursuit of a good time. The bus into town was full of peacocks and birds of paradise, all aching to cast off the drudgery of the working week and party till we forgot we were skint. I wanted to portray two girls from the estate emulating Madonna’s unique thrift store style. The Bronx meets Batemoor so to speak. Madonna was bold, brash and fearless, pretty much like most working class girls at the time.’
