Description

Cans. This subject was a staple of every art course both in school and college. Such a handy way of destroying what you think you ought to see and what you actually are looking at! See what it looked like before I meddled with it Here

Here's ol' Jasper Johns', in one of his famous home-made, painted beer can pieces: http://blogs.artinfo.com/artintheair/files/2012/03/sp-johns.jpg (Taking that class idea to its extreme...) Love this treatment! And zoom is a must! Full size, it's a formidable wreck, with the feeling of a fighter plane that had too much Tequila and came piling out of the bar and fell over in an alley. But this is the next day, with great bright light. Love what you did with this...and zoomed, your usual edge work and "colonization" is really big! Big broad swaths! And you have one half surrounded by darker hues and the other half, by lighter hues---a kind of two-sides-of-one-personality thing. Big bold, animated and wonderfully present. I love what you did with this! (Did I say that? Well it's worth repeating.) Large, this thing is a big blast.

Outstanding transformational postwork. Staple of art classes or not (I have taken dozens of college level art classes & never encountered it as an exercise), you've turned these crushed cans into a wonderful work of art - bravo!

As you mentioned.. the drink can has always been a great subject in art, photography can have some fun with crushed cans and using painting with light and other techniques. I like the difference between the regular shot of the cans and the post worked version. I find things we recognise day to day can also take on a whole new image when you take away the means for the eye's to tell the brain what it actually is and I get great pleasure in doing that in order for the viewer to see it differently, often in mixed media zooming in tight to a regular object as you have demonstrated in past years.
