Acrylic on canvas by the contemporary and pop artist Tosh: the artwork is inspired to the famous poster by John Lennon the the singer published in 1969 during his anti-war campaign with Yoko Ono.
For the realization of the work Tosh used strong and bright acrylic colours with varnish, creating vivid contrast. Instinctive and Pop, Tosh creates a clear and discursive work, which tells a world that is easy to approach for the observer and transmitts energy and vitality thanks to the power of colour.
The work is signed lower in the middle.
