PMZ

30x30"

acrylic, newspaper

2008

Here's a wedding gift for some friends who helped us buy our first house.... Hey Gus and Linda. They both worked for PMZ, where they met. Linda likes Vladimir Kush, a surrealist artist, so I incorporated some imagery from a painting of his. I was trying to figure out how to add more texture and found the newspaper nearby. That is when I saw the ads for homes, so there are torn pieces of newspaper in here, even PMZ ads.

18x24"

acrylic on canvas, magazines

The pictures are cut from magazine's and glued to the canvas using matte medium. They don't really have any specific meaning, just that they looked interesting put together. It was a gift for my sister, Karina.
