Description
I am not sure what to call this method. Through the years I paint many paintings, I photograph them, later crop them to achieve a variety of colors, details and textures. Those colors, etc. are then printed on magnets. The magnets are used as a medium for the general public in a Grand Rapids, Michigan art competition called artprize to create their own artwork on a large magnetic panel. I then photograph those creations (or in many cases, if I wasn't there, the creator sent me a picture of the work by email or by social media). I then digitally enhance the files in order to elevate the works created by the people, who in most cases, told me they were not artistic and knew nothing about art. I will be building a series of these and perhaps it will inspire artprize project 2012...I have a collection of over 400 pieces created over the 3 week period in 2010...this is one of my favorites!
