The Long Island Iced Tea is a cocktail that has never quite shaken its reputation for excess. This canvas gives it something different: a minimalist treatment, the drink in a tall glass with its layers reduced to soft browns and beiges, the lemon twist abstracted to a single yellow spiral against a tan background. The whole composition is considerably quieter than its subject's usual associations.Kitchen artwork for homes where the bar cabinet and the art collection belong to the same sensibility. Works in a modern kitchen or as a dining room canvas where the cocktail conversation happens over good food and carefully chosen walls. A considered piece for rooms with a warm, muted palette.
