False Idols

     For my final assignment in abstract painting I had to create a small sculpture and paint it in an imagined landscape.  My sculpture was a cross made out of a broken guitar; crucified on it was a person with a barcode face and a bieber hair cut.  The painting is a surreal seascape with a small island, on it is this guitar cross with a faceless dude rocking a bieber hair cut, and surrounding him is warped images of pop culture floating in space.

 "False Idols"
Oil paint, acrylic paint, spray paint, cardboard, rag paper, bar codes, broken liquor bottles, and scrap clothing.
60 x 40 inches.

 Barcode face with Justin Bieber's hair.

My Abstract Map Painting

This was my second project in Abstract Painting, and the assignment was to abstract the experience of a trip from point A to point B.  This is my car ride between York University and Pickering on the 401 in the evening.

 "401"
Acrylic, spray paint, scrap paper, scrap canvas, and aluminium tape on canvas
60 x42 inches

These are details of the painting:

 I tried to represent the aggressive dissociation of my environment that I feel while driving on large slabs of concrete; the 401 always seems to have some new development along it, large concrete and metal structures, and it is this constructive nature that juxtaposes the organic environment that should exist.  This painting is my 'aggressive dissociation'.
