My Little Pony Abbey Road after The Beatles

This captivating pop art work is an extremely fun and colorful reinterpretation of an iconic photograph forever engraved in popular music culture. Appropriating the famous album cover of the British band The Beatles crossing a London pedestrian zebra crossing, the artist offers us a modern parody titled “My Little Pony Abbey Road”. This unique oil painting combines sixties nostalgia with the magical and colorful world of a famous childhood toy franchise.

The comic anachronism lies in the substitution of the four famous musicians with the adorable characters from My Little Pony. On the white pedestrian zebra crossing of Abbey Road, we observe Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie wearing funny green psychedelic spiral glasses, Applejack, and Rarity aligned in a single file in mid-stride. Above them, Rainbow Dash spreads her multicolored wings in full flight while Fluttershy hovers gently on the left. The famous white Volkswagen Beetle parked on the left side of the road and the typical houses of the Westminster district faithfully respect the original photographic shot, contrasting humorously with the colorful pony silhouettes.

The artist’s skill lies in his ability to faithfully reproduce the street perspective of London and the natural light of the original photograph. The meticulous and seamless integration of the pastel-colored ponies with large expressive eyes demonstrates a pictorial technique of great finesse and quality.
