Eighty years ago, a farm girl fretfully drifted to sleep in the eye of a tornado. Since then, The Wizard of Oz has journeyed across history, meeting new interpretations at every turn. Today, the modern classic awakes on Philippe Le Miere's canvas. For him, Dorothy’s story is about ripping back the curtain, questioning dogma and most strikingly, daring to be wise. 

In this work, he places her iconic ruby slipper centre. As vibrant as technicolour Oz, ‘study for ruby shoes of oz’ is equal parts nostalgia and fantasy. Born from walking his own Yellow Brick Road, this painting celebrates the myriad of meanings a good story springs. So, click your heels, close your eyes and repeat “there’s no place like art”.
