What does this mean?

Hello, this item is an original painting by Denver-based graffiti artist Tuke (Noah Baker), titled Alice’s Tea Party. The work measures 25 x 40 inches unframed (32 x 47 inches framed) and was painted circa 2011 while the artist was incarcerated, using a prison bedsheet as canvas and improvised materials. The piece depicts a whimsical yet chaotic reinterpretation of the classic tea party scene from Alice in Wonderland, rendered in a vibrant cartoon style with exaggerated expressions and saturated colors—hallmarks of Baker’s graffiti-inspired visual language.

As a unique example of prison art and outsider expression, this work holds strong narrative and cultural interest. While Tuke is not yet widely established in institutional collections, his story and the originality of the medium offer strong appeal to collectors of underground art, graffiti culture, and prison-based creativity. Given its provenance, subject matter, and size, this piece would likely be valued between $800 and $1,200 in a niche or alternative art market context, with potential for growth if Tuke’s work garners further attention or inclusion in curated outsider art exhibitions.
