A Joshua Peace-SOLD-NYC, USA Painting

acrylic on canvas 24"x24" (60.9x60.9cm) 1.5" (3.8 cm) deep edge gallery wrapped canvas the painting is wired and ready to hang Beauty in the Broken I strive to create art that reveals the beauty of things broken The inherent artistic perfection of the imperfect and the aged Art revealed through damage and distress During the initial stages of painting, I paint the sides of the canvas. During the later stages, while I am pouring and dripping paint, spraying water onto the canvas, scraping and squeegeeing the paint, some of the paint will drip over the sides of the painting. I prefer to leave the drips and splashes of paint on the sides, and not paint over them. By doing this, the process that the painting has gone through to get to the final stage is recorded. The sides of the painting become their own work of art.
