This piece was recently an online Salon Finalist in the 2024 Lethbridge Landscape Prize.
One in a series of landscapes that celebrate the forgotten, neglected or abandoned spaces around us. The focus of this piece is an old shed currently used for a pigeon racing club, which sits next to a tennis court and kids playground in Unanderra, NSW. Layered paper elements and paint mimic the corrugated metal covered in graffiti.
The collage elements have been taken from vintage books, cardboard boxes, magazines, packaging materials and junk mail. Reusing these found items, which are usually discarded, to create something entirely new and unique.
This piece is on stretched canvas and 3 coats of matte varnish have been applied to protect the artwork. It has a wire at the back with painted edges so it is ready for your walls, or you may wish to add a frame directly through Bluethumb during purchase.
Thanks for checking it out. Cheers Darren
