Painting on Canvas in Customised painted Frame
by Brendan Walsh (ColdGhost)
Childhood fantasies of future technology, Robots and Astro Boy Cartoons, collide with the soul crushing reality of 2023 Big Tech.
Pumping all our personal data into social media apps, likes & dislikes, holiday snaps, the kids, the dog..
All this juicy information to be sold off to advertisers; ready to capitalise on every insecurity and desire.
Lets boldly march forward, phone in hand, agreeing to all T's & C’s..
This original Mixed Media painting was created over recycled paper on Canvas and is a continuation of my recent experiment in using different techniques to apply the paint, Rollers Sponges, scrapers, spray packs, Paint Pens, stencils, in fact almost anything,
The work is a Statement Piece in the Neo Pop / Street Art style, that would create maximum impact to any room.
This artwork stylistically is directly influenced by Graffiti in City Laneways and other weathered surfaces.
The work is also inspired by my love of gestural abstraction and my obsession with using spray paint.
Insitu examples are not to scale.
The work comes on a quality stretched canvas in a painted timber frame and is ready to hang.
