Artist Portrait as AI
This artwork is mixed media, it has vintage wallpaper, pages from sci-fi novels, comics and other books glued to the canvas to create layered and slightly textured finish, before being overlaid with spray paints and acrylic..
This original Artwork is a continuation of my current series, playfully exploring the merging of Man & Machine, pop culture and cartoons and is a portrait of myself disappearing into machine form.. .
Childhood fantasies of future technology from last century, Astro Boy Cartoons & Robot Comics, collide with the reality of this Century.
Into the future we stride, smart phones in hand, typing all our personal information into Apps, our likes & dislikes, our exact location being tracked by satellites.
I agree to all T’s & C’s and tick the box;
I’m not a Robot.
The work is a Statement Piece in the Neo Pop / Street Art style, that would create maximum impact to any room.
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 painted black around the edges and is ready to hang.
