paintings on deconstructed boxes

Remember when *deconstructed* was the buzz word of the day? I don’t see that word out there so often these days, but it does describe what I have done with the commercial product boxes I used as supports to paint on in the examples below.

I pulled apart, or deconstructed various three-dimensional cartons or product boxes without tearing. Once flattened, I joined two or more boxes together to make a support for painting experiments. There are at least four butter boxes joined in this first example, with most traces of the overall yellow color and deep blue printed lettering painted out. In the various views of the Brillo box painting, transparent paint and unpainted portions incorporate areas of the original box color and lettering into the composition.

I am also interested in the different effect the composition has when the form is viewed horizontally.

Resistance

Resistance, artist: Marie Kazalia, email the artist: mariekazzaz@embarqmail.com

The title, Resistance, refers to the painting techniques used–which are the Process Painting techniques of layers, stain and poured paint. The silver acrylic paint layer (over yellow and texture on canvas) acts as a resist to the watery splashed on dark paint stain, so that it does not soak into the canvas as in traditional Stain Painting. The stain layer of watery paint bleeds out to break from the confines of the hardedge forms based on military camouflage patterns. The artist mixes much of her own paint using painting mediums and dry pigments. In this case, the artist mixed silver aluminum powder into an artist grade acrylic medium as the pigment binder, to create the silver paint used in this painting.
