Posh Nosh Shake (Original Artwork)

In Posh Nosh Shake, Aussie humour meets colonial pomp in a tongue-in-cheek commentary on class, culture, and everyday pleasures. A regal figure, styled in the over-the-top fashion of English aristocracy, proudly frames a bright pink milkshake — a playful nod to "posh nosh," Aussie slang for fancy food that’s often more flash than substance.

By mixing the visual language of old-world portraiture with something as everyday as a milkshake, the work pokes fun at the absurdity of status symbols and the way luxury is often performed rather than lived. The ornate framing within the frame further exaggerates the idea of artifice and self-importance, inviting viewers to laugh at the gap between high society pretensions and Aussie down-to-earthness.

Celebrating the larrikin spirit, Posh Nosh Shake reminds us that sometimes, the most honest pleasures are the simplest — and that taking the piss out of pretension is an art form in itself.
