The Gallery: Sita Rupe Paintings

Photographer Sita Rupe originally started painting as a hobby, but as her style of combining silk-screened images with acrylic, wood and resin evolved, so did her one-time leisure activity into a more full-blown enterprise...

The retro imagery combined with vibrant patterns in Rupe's work feels at once nostalgic and fresh. The pieces vary in price, but seem to hover around $75 to $80. For more information, contact the artist via her website.

Lily, I don't really understand this concept, and although I've worked with silk screen before, is this for walls or can it be utilized for furniture as well?

hmmm....i'm looking back and forth from that painting to the design on my blossom candle by snow and graham right here on my desk...they are nice but they seem to be painted over very chic gift wrap designs etc:

i've seen paintings like these where the artist takes a page from an old book or collages old wallpaper and paints over them. Cool idea. But with these gift wrap designs being so current and featured so prominently in the paintings isn't there some sort of copyright protection that should be going on?
