Description
Laurie Raskin’s Good Things Begin To Happen channels the exuberance of mid-century Southern California through a vibrant collage of vintage imagery and bold graphic color. Measuring 42 inches high x 34.5 inches wide, the work evokes the sunny optimism of Laguna Beach with swimmers, beach balls, classic automobiles, period fashion, and retro travel signage arranged across saturated fields of golden yellow and brilliant blue. The oversized word “Exciting” and the phrase “Good Things Begin To Happen” become integral visual elements, lending the composition the energetic immediacy of vintage advertising. Raskin’s juxtaposition of photographic and illustrated imagery recalls Pop Art and postwar commercial design while reimagining California’s culture of beaches, automobiles, recreation, and leisure through a contemporary lens. Playful yet carefully orchestrated, the work captures the enduring allure of the California lifestyle and the visual optimism of an earlier era.
