New piece of art work at Flirt

An interesting story about this new line of original artwork.

 These pieces are made from recycled, re purposed and re used boards and scaffolding planks covered in 100% recycled paper bags and then transformed into en caustic one of a kind pieces of art.

The work was begun about a few months ago when the design duo team of Bob and Cortney Novogratz came to Tulsa to do a book signing party at Edit.

The pair was also in town for a room redo as well as take in some sights and shopping here in Tulsa.

Inspired by there great sense of style and their ability to reuse when ever possible this line of fine art was born.

This is a fun and green series that I am currently working on and taking commissions on as well.I am introducing some typography into these works and some of the pieces are purely blocks of color,texture and layers.This type of uncontrolled -controlled work is a new way to work for me.

Normally controlled and realistically painted surfaces and pieces have been my primary focus, but this lets the mediums themselves control the actual end result,with each piece there is a primary focus but it begins and ends on the canvas.

The pieces are each individually different, taking on layers upon layers of color but leaving a smooth finish and encaustic style of art medium within the layers which are formed.

 You almost want to touch the piece as is is fully 3-dimensional but is of course a 2 dimensional form.

The original piece for Bob and Cortney Novogratz, also depicted some typography and bold design styles.The quote was one taken directly from Cortney, from an interview.

I have not been able to catch the new HGTV design series as of yet, but I was an avid fan of SIXX design series of spaces and decorating projects.

You can also look at their style if you are not familiar at:Downtown chic,the duos book.

Look for new styles and a collection this summer at CB2, from the design duo.

The back of all the pieces is signed and dated with the ART stenciled by hand as this series trademark design.
