This Painting from 2005 was the beginning of what became the Andy Warhol Bar Code Project. The first of several landscape paintings where I duplicated the arrangement of the bars from various UPC codes as trees in silhouette against water, and in one case against the backdrop of a clear cut forest. This work culminated last year with the Bar Code Project, an installation of 32 paintings representing all 32 flavors of Campbells soup from Warhols 1962 exhibition at Irving Blums Ferris Gallery in Santa Monica California.
In this painting I was playing around with the idea of twilight, and trees in silhouette against a body of water. In this 40" x 14" work in oil on canvas the sky and water are represented by 12k gold leaf. This causes the painting to change dramatically with changing light conditions.
This work is framed in a custom hand finished reveal frame and is available for purchase through Rake Art Gallery for $1,500.00
