Mixed media: oil, acrylic, industrial paint and graphite. A real can is covered with canvas and painted. The elements of painting are captured here in a frenzy of evolution. Line, color, under-painting, background, sketch, canvas, the real and its depiction collide to create a painting that goes beyond its limits and can be viewed from different angles. Like Giorgio Morandi, during World War II I'm painting and repainting the mundane to show its possibilities. At the same time commentary as well as a denial of the bigger issues. Transformation & the mundane in a time of peril.
