Love by the yard Painting

LOVE BY THE YARD (Art by the Yard) (2016-2019) by Vicky Barranguet ©2016 Oil on canvas 37 inches wide (unstretched canvas) x variable inches high $3,250 / yard #0001441 Love by the Yard is an interactive installation which invites collectors to participate in the creative process. Vicky invites collectors to decide where to cut the painted roll of canvas, resulting in unique unpredictable pieces which vary in size, orientation and composition. The whole work will be considered 'complete' when the original roll of canvas is cut into pieces according to collectors’ choices. The artist will use any pieces that remain following the interactive process to create a new final work of art called Remnant. Inspired by the poetry of Jorge Arbeleche, Vicky says this of her work: "Art is about love and emotions... we certainly cannot buy or sell love, patience, kindness, solidarity, compassion. Buying a yard of art means much more than just acquiring a piece of canvas with some paint. It contains essential values, contrast, darkness and light, dreams, reality and life." "Están vendiendo el amor y la alegría lo anuncian con luces de mercurio y una música miente la fabulosa leyenda de lo eterno. He de entrar, y si queda aún, me llevaré un metro de amor y un par de risas" –Jorge Arbeleche --- “They're selling love and joy they announce it with neon lights and a music lies the fabulous tale of the eternal. I shall enter and if there is some left, I'll take a yard of love and a couple of laughs” –Jorge Arbeleche
