Old Masters

How the art was made.

Photo Paintings.

The Old Masters are tasteful graffiti. They are acrylic paintings on photos that explore our reactions to colour and form.

The paintings are dominated by one of five colours: red, yellow, blue, black, and white. Each is laid over photos of Old Master paintings. The paint raises, changes, or removes the meaning of the original image.

The Old Masters make marks of our time.
