Description

the full title: the mediator between head + hand must be the heart

painted in: impasto + acrylics + Mandy + inks + shoelace + random white mesh

art folio painting #4

the line is from one of the earliest films ever made, it's called "metropolis" and my dad took me to see it maybe 2 years ago at midnight at some indie cinema. it is one of the best films i have ever seen. if you can find a copy of it anywhere i suggest you get it and treasure every second of it. it turely is a remarkable film.

this painting was washed more than anyother painting i had this year. [yes, i throw my paintings into the sink and wash them with scourers and such tings when i am angry at them. the scourer gave this one an awesome efffect though XD]

this painting also doesn't contain any Marc, which makes it unique to most of the work i've done this year.

the shoelace was stolen from k-mart and dyed in Mandy, then taken on a walk around my studio to dry while i occasionally beat it against buildings and trees to make it dry faster. it hangs off the painting for about half a meter.
why? because a, the shoelace was inspired by a boy i can't find a reason to not like and i'd feel bad about cutting it
b, i was too lazy to cut it +
c, it actually looks awesome just hanging there, it makes it more out-landish and interactive like the one with the hook XD

I just love the idea of real string around the crack in the heart. An amazing idea for an amazing artwork, created in an interesting way.
