A reclining, velvet-coated figure sprawls across the floor with an almost comically relaxed attitude, transforming the familiar language of the pin-up into something surreal and distinctly Gunn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferencing Burt Reynolds’ famous 1972 \u003cem\u003eCosmopolitan\u003c\/em\u003e centrefold, the work plays with ideas of glamour, sexuality and the cultural fascination with the body, but approaches them through humour and exaggeration rather than seduction. Its soft, tactile surface only heightens the contradiction: this is a work that is inviting to look at, yet impossible to take entirely at face value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of Gunn’s \u003cem\u003eFuzzles\u003c\/em\u003e series, \u003cem\u003eFlopsy Centrefold\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates his ability to create sculptures that are immediately engaging while carrying a more complex cultural charge beneath the surface. It is an irreverent, highly tactile work with an unmistakable presence... equally at home as a conversation-starting centrepiece or an unexpected intervention within a considered interior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hyett and The Captain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49271609983195,"sku":null,"price":10000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/2748\/1307\/files\/Brad_Gunn_FlopsyCentrefold_2023_1.jpg?v=1789425848","url":"https:\/\/www.hyettandthecaptain.com.au\/products\/flopsy-centrefold","provider":"Hyett \u0026 The Captain ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
