Tiffany Arp-Daleo Artwork

Abstract Paintings, Mixed Media, Photography

New Romantic

9″ x 12″ Acrylic on watercolor paper

As a kid growing up in the ’80s, I was greatly influenced by the ‘New-Romantic’ music artists like Visage, Spandau Ballet, The Psychedelic Furs, and Soft Cell. This abstract acrylic painting totally reminds me of the music from those days!

I really like the soft, flowing lines, muted pastel colors, and dreamlike, mystical shapes. The overall effect is one of tranquility, and serenity, with a bit of nostalgia.

If you are drawn to this painting, prints and home decor featuring this design are now available in my Redbubble shop!

    Center right looks like a musician in a skinny tie, and the center reminds me of a table with human legs…like this is a long lost album cover ❤️

    I love the lavenders. Very romantic indeed. I hadn’t thought about the Psychedelic Furs in ages. Great rare video of Visage.

    I saw the piano Robyn away and all the beautiful energy it created. Delightful.

            It did, for a few reasons. I looked at several but kept coming back to that one. You have an amazing and beautiful collection of work. It was hard to choose. Just means I need more than one. 😁

      Oh Graham, don’t get me started!!! Yes, those are all some of my favorites from the day, the more obscure and underground, the more I liked it! Great memories

      Oh, there are certainly little creatures, I think fairy-like, running around in places like this, what fun they must have!

    I love the colours and form. I’ve been a Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry fan since the 70s and this image would go well with many of their offerings.
