Description

This piece is unique, it comes from a photo I took of a wall with some beautiful peeling paint in NYC in 2004. I mirrored it to create a mesmerizing effect and then collaged that with a angled shot of some other wall decay from Oregon in 2016. With these collage pieces I try and match the theme and texture of the foreground and background images to synergize the effect and feel of the whole and with these fully abstract pieces I make them so that you can choose which side you'd like to be up or down : ) And like 99.9% of all Street Art and wall photography... what you see here no longer exists, these are snapshots and momentary glimpses. Here one day and gone the next ... Momento Mori! I have this one on a painted and treated piece of Cement Board which the photos are mounted onto and then sealed with a clear gloss polyurethane. One last note in these collages each individual image is layered and pasted on separately to give just that extra bit of subtle dimensionality and physicality. Ie I'm not layering them in Photoshop and then printing the flattened image as one print. All pieces are one of a kind, hand-made and unique and involve my own original photography while living in the east Village of NYC from 1997 to 2008 and in Northern California since then. All of the mounting and construction of the final pieces are done on hand here at my studio in Nevada City CA. Everything is sturdily backed and ready to hang once you receive it and every piece also has a unique JuxtArtStudios label on back as well Please see my other Art, Silver and Collectable items for sale!
