Remastered Art

Adding new seasons to a works of art

It is a nice challenge to participate in the Remastered Art project (part of art platform Swop Art). Nature is central to my work, so I chose landscapes. I first stripped the paintings of their frames. By doing so, they literally and figuratively lost a lot of dust. After playing with different ideas, I decided to paint on plexiglass. In the past year, I have made paintings on plexiglass that are presented in a stainless steel frame. With the use of plexiglass in this project, my contribution to Remastered Art fits well with my own work. The painting on plexiglass adds a new layer to the existing work. By attaching it at a distance, it casts a shadow on the original canvas, creating a surprising three-dimensional effect. A whole new season is added to the old, dusty work with this intervention.
