PINKYTOAST OIL PAINTING SURREAL GOTHIC YOUNG ARTIST MISSING PRESUMED DEAD TRAGIC

Description: ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS SURREAL GOTHIC POP ART BY PINKYTOAST (AMERICAN, CIRCA 1990-2014) This original oil painting is certainly one of the finest works by Pinkytoast. The artwork measures 26 x 20 inches and is an oil on canvas stretched and mounted to a flat solid wood frame with no decorative border. The artwork is signed and dated, "Miss'P, 2006" with a very fine brush in the lower right quadrant and also boldly signed on the verso with a playfully added remarque drawn in black marker. The condition is excellent. The provenance is from an estate in Florida, USA. Authenticity is guaranteed and a COA from Laurent Ashton Gallery will accompany this artwork. Pinkytoast was influenced by the Mark Ryden style Pop Surrealism movement of the late 20th Century. She received a BFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in California. She was one of the brightest stars on the contemporary art scene in America and then suddenly her career came to a tragic end when she disappeared in 2014. The eerie nature of her disappearance was overshadowed by the fact that she had just cut a big deal with the American company Hot Topic who was planning on selling her artwork nationwide in the form of T-shirts, toys, etc. Just when she had a breakthrough in her plight as a struggling young artist, her career and presumably life came to an end. The last posts on her Facebook page and other social media sites abruptly stopped in 2014. There is no information about her whereabouts or her presumed demise anywhere currently on the Internet. Our gallery would sincerely appreciate any information one might have about her. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any information about what ultimately happened to this young talented artist. 20% of the proceeds of this sale will be donated automatically through Ebay to the charity, "A Child is Missing" which operates as a 501(c) non-profit assisting law enforcement agencies across the nation with cases of missing children. Sincerely, Laurent Ashton Gallery
