Colors And Textures
Mixed media artists are enthralled by colors and textures. Since junior high, I’ve always been jazzed by what was possible, taking everyday things and re-purposing them for art. When I was a neophyte artist, I was mad about hue, so I took to exploring chromatics. As I matured, I became more focused on texture. I am a par excellent découper and even peddled a small line of decoupaged candles at one point as a side income. I’m looking to reinvigorate my artistic life, so instead of jaunting to the art supply store, I’m looking to auto parts.
My art teacher used to say “Give me the weird. I am counting on you to give me the weird,” and so my junior high self was somewhere between Dali and Joan Mitchell. Like Warhol, I’m interested in what happens when we take all-too-familiar symbols from the din of TV and the internet and re-think them. If you want to play with symbols in your art, check out Auto Parts Warehouse collection of emblems. Shiny and weighty (not just symbolically either), they may be that focal point you’ve been pining for in a new artistic endeavor.
