Artist Statement:
I use oil paint on wood panels
to create works of art that
comment on the amount of
television advertising that I
intake on a daily basis. The
transparent and translucent
qualities of oil paint allow
me to layer several
advertisements onto one
picture plane. My paintings
take on three formats; the
three formats are derived from
my two television sets. The
three formats are referred to
as the DVR Paintings, the
Infomercial Paintings and the
Versus Paintings.
For the DVR Paintings, I use
a Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
to capture every television
program that I regularly
watch. I then capture one
image from each commercial and
layer them together to form a
completed painting. I use
translucent and opaque layers
of paint to conceal and reveal
interesting juxtapositions.
The end result is a series of
paintings that represent the
fusion of the advertisements
within the specific television
programs that I watch. Each
painting becomes a
chronologically ordered and
obtrusive amalgamation of
commercial advertising.
The Infomercial
Paintings are predominantly
textual. I chose several time
periods when I would normally
be asleep with the television
on. For a designated amount
of time, I flip through the
infomercials and write down
