Rosie Rushton created her signature colour palette of blue and pink wonderlands while she was locked down in Sydney. Her canvases embrace all that surround her. In Noodles etc her hard-lined technique creates a flattened memory of a still life. We are propelled into a Chinese noodle bar as our olfactory senses are stimulated; anaesthetised only by the gentle presence of flowers that emerge from the canvas.

I am a big fan of fluorescent pink and I think this piece is fun. Rushton has turned a mundane meal into something exciting, the work has a graphic feel to it. This is a really refreshing piece, taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary.
