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.

Painting in the Round

In 2008, I experimented with round mold-formed watercolor paper. This paper is 15 1/2 inches across, heavily sized, has slightly irregular edges and is quite thick and stiff.

Here are two:

All artworks on this site may be purchased directly from the artist via PayPal invoice. Contact Marie Kazalia by email: MarieKazalia@gmail.com

The round painting titled Veils may be purchased on the Zatista site here, and the painting titled Petals here. Both round paintings are also in my ArtWeb portfolio.
