#unmade - report 8 (71-80)

#unmade - report 8 (71-80)

February 1, 2017 marked the beginning of a year long painting / internet art project titled #unmade.

For #unmade, I am posting, via Twitter, 100 titles for 100 unrealised paintings over the course of 2017. A painting (most likely as an acrylic and ink on canvas) is available for each title. Each #unmade painting is priced at $100. To commission a painting, a person may contact me (DM via Twitter) the day the title is posted. If no one commissions the title on the the day of the post (midnight EST), the painting will remain unmade.

The eighth set of 10 tiles (#71-80) have generated 0 commissioned paintings with 10 likes and 0 retweets. During the seventh set, the @mriver twitter account gained 1 follower for the current total of 292. Of the 10 new likes for titles #71-80, 80% are from MTAA member emeritus @twhid

13 dine in da Vinci’s Last Supper. 11 ride a boat in Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware. Some vast number of humans and other things that I’m frankly too lazy to count right now are doing whatever the hell they are doing in Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights. In the final chapters of #unmade, I have turned my attention to figure painting. So far, the subjects have only been isolated figures or couples. I’d like to now take on the category I like to think of as large groups of people and/or mythical beings doing things together. Like paintings of horses, mountains and roman gods, I feel crowds are quickly disappearing as a subject. With Dana Schutz’s brawl elevators and Nicole Eisenman’s freaky flaneurs being some needed exceptions. So, up next, a few new mob scenes. permanent link to this post
