Two art collectors take a break Collage

"Two Art Collectors Take a Break" was inspired by a newspaper article about an American couple who loved art and bought what they liked and could afford. They started buying in the 1930s and now enjoy some rare pieces. I like the photograph of this quiet elderly couple sipping coffee seated at a modernist style coffee table surrounded by impressive art. I imagine them in a Manhattan apartment looking towards high rise buildings with a huge television screen projecting the latest art shows (see Super Woman, top middle section). In the top left you can see a huge clock with numbers springing out of control emphasising the fast pace outside this peaceful apartment. The painting is made up of small paintings depicting interiors and exteriors. Vertical and horizontal lines create a sense of compartments and movement . This adds energy through discord and draws the viewer back to the gentle couple, again creating a balance between unease and harmony. In this work I began by making random marks with a wax candle as my drawing tool and outlining shapes with black ink. I used this time to build a scene for the art collectors and placed them to the bottom left of the scene. I chose to draw these figures with the minimum of fuss but applied Letraset Avant Garde on the man's shirt. This is my accolade to what seems to be a remarkable couple. Collage strips of black paper and black ink along with Letraset is used in parts to create architectural focal points.
