CANT REWIND LIFE (LIMITED EDITION OF 30)
from £100.00
"Can't Rewind Life" is a vibrant, nostalgic reflection on time, choices, and the irreversible forward momentum of the human journey. Created in 2026 by UK-based artist FunnyTummy, the piece places the viewer directly into a overgrown, mid-1990s urban landscape, using the era's signature culture as a metaphor for youthful potential and the absolute permanence of present actions.
At the center of the composition, two figures in Lucha Libre masks and yellow capes hold court around a classic British Telecom public telephone box. One character stands vigilant with a Super Soaker, while another holds a boombox to his ear, listening to the soundtrack of a life that is only just beginning. The decision to mask the figures keeps their identities open, allowing every viewer to project their own childhood memories onto the canvas.
Behind them, nature reclaims the symbols of an earlier decade: an iconic Blockbuster Video storefront and a traditional red-and-white telephone booth are draped in ivy and spray paint. The graffiti explicitly delivers the artwork’s core philosophy, with phrases like "CAN'T REWIND LIFE" tagged directly onto the building facade and "BE KIND!" scrawled near the payphone.
By setting the scene in the 1990s the height of VHS rental culture, where movies could be rewound and restarted at will FunnyTummy creates a deliberate contrast with real life. Unlike a videotape, life has no rewind button, no undo feature, and no second takes. The young protagonists have their entire lives ahead of them, reminding us that while we cannot go back to change the past, we hold total agency over how we live the present moment.
Printed on heavyweight 290gsm archival fine art paper, this piece pairs rich painterly textures with intense pops of neon blue, yellow, and red. It is a bold, energetic reminder to make the absolute most of what we have, while we have it.
Edition: Limited edition run of 30.
Signature: Each print is personally signed, numbered, and dated by FunnyTummy.
Framing: Available as a standalone print or with bespoke framing options.
Spec: Printed on premium archival paper to ensure longevity and depth of colour.
