‘Thunderbird Cafe’ looks like a postcard from the golden hour of yesteryear. Replete with flamingo pink exterior, palm tree and vintage car, Steve Rosendale’s exercise in nostalgia is heady with old-world charm.
In his practice, Rosendale sifts through hundreds of film stills, searching for images that strike him. He then elongates the moment into a full work of art, setting up intriguing mise-en-scenes that linger long after viewing.
Since the early 2000s, Rosendale has exhibited regularly across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. A finalist in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize, his work graces the walls of corporate and private collections in Australia and overseas, sparking the imagination of all who view it.
For collectors of pop art and connoisseurs of vintage culture, pop into ‘Thunderbird Cafe’.
