Laurie Raskin’s Meet You in Palm Springs (2025) is a jubilant homage to mid-century leisure culture, rendered in vivid mixed media with acrylic on canvas. Measuring 33” x 43”, this collage-based composition pulses with retro charm, featuring sunbathers, swimmers, golfers, classic cars, and iconic postcard-style illustrations of Palm Springs. Bold swaths of orange, aqua, yellow, and black create a dynamic visual rhythm, echoing the graphic language of 1960s advertising and California cool. Raskin expertly blends nostalgic iconography with contemporary pop aesthetics, inviting the viewer into a stylized memory of desert glamour and resort life. With playful juxtapositions and a keen eye for vintage typography and visual texture, this piece captures the essence of an era defined by sunshine, freedom, and flair.
