Artist Hideout

Most of my work has always been abstract Expression since last October when I began Artist Hideout, and while I enjoy it, I felt there might be something lacking. I’ve been thinking a lot about how technology has and continues to impact the art world and how to express that.

So my most recent painting, (and why I’ve been silent the last few days has been an assemblage project that will also be using the abstract form in it’s later stages. You must pardon the cell phone image below (I really must get a better camera than that), but here is where I am with this particular painting.

Using rags and some old computer parts (including a hard drive and an old security camera, a sea shell, these were first glued to the canvas. The rags were glued very loosely so to still give the impression of movement around a protrusion of the security camera lens attached to the hard drive.

I guess the idea behind this is that art is watching us as much as we are watching it. Where we are the true art and the conduit that what we call “art” comes into being.

Or maybe the fumes are just getting to me?

seen here on it’s side, all in black… hoping it is dry soon for the next layer of paint.
