This artwork may look like an abstract painting, but it is actually a photograph!
A concrete wall with old, peeling yellow paint. You can still see the remnants of figure that stood here. Is it January 17th? Was it a date from 2017? Maybe it were just some numbers. This impermanence gives it a cool and grungy look. An image you might come across in a workshop or garage, or conversely in a cool boy's room. Combined with sleek metal elements, this sculpture also comes into its own.
This image is a detail of a weathered piece of wall, photographed in Asia. Due to weathering, many walls are subject to moisture, erosion and overgrowth of organisms. At first, you think these walls need a fresh lick of paint. But when you look closer, you see what kind of beauty is actually hidden in this impermanence. Colours fade, blend or flake off, and mosses begin to take on a life of their own, reviving colourfully after a heavy rain.
As one local put it very nicely; "These walls are alive, and painted by nature". Wonderful!
This picture is suitable for anyone looking for a special abstract artwork with a story. You can frame it and hang it on your wall as an eye-catcher, but you can also print it on wallpaper and turn your own wall into a unique work of art. That way, you can breathe new life into as many as two walls!
