n ‘Skipping Girl’ Charles Blackman nods, tongue-in-cheek, towards an icon of the Melbourne skyline, the neon sign for ‘Skipping Girl Vinegar’. Drive down Victoria Street and there she beams, unmissable, carefree and forever mid-skip. In Blackman’s rendition however, she also speaks to a rapidly changing modern world, where advertising, industrialisation and youth were colliding like never before.
One of Australia’s most iconic artists, Blackman's work speaks to us all. To live with his visual poetry promises to be an ever-enriching experience for you and your family. For admirers of the artist, his legacy or a Melbourne native, let Skipping Girl bound into your space.
