Cliche Life - Boot Scootin’ Baby - 60x60cm Square (#266838v1)

In Boot Scootin’ Baby - 266838v1, the glossy red boot, decorated with yellow stars and dark detailing, becomes the sharply articulated foreground character. Behind it, the simplified yellow figure rises as an almost abstract silhouette. Black-and-white forms and a flash of vivid pink recede through shallow focus, turning the surrounding objects into graphic fields of colour.

The close positioning of the two central forms gives the photograph an unexpected sense of companionship, while their exaggerated scale removes them from the world of miniature novelty objects. Humour and familiarity remain, but the composition operates equally through colour, shape, repetition and visual tension.

Part of Raymond Mather’s Cliché Life series, the work transforms commonplace and playful objects into a highly saturated contemporary still life, exploring how photography can shift the familiar towards something theatrical, ambiguous and newly observed.

Printed on museum-grade archival cotton rag paper using archival pigment inks. Each work is individually signed and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
