Artist Elizabeth Walker Carrington has taken to adorning furniture with whimsical painted designs and the results are quite special. She admits that her work might pass for eye-candy, but there’s an obvious subtext with this project. While one layer suggests vintage wallpaper patterns, another seemingly haphazard layer brings to mind a graffiti-covered construction site. Even the street element is meticulously executed, and with clever pop- culture references (the lyrics to David Bowie’s “Golden Years” are tagged on a dining room chair) Carrington’s work would fit perfectly into a scene from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette.
