SOLD

A found vintage oil painting and acrylic painted wood on canvas with a three-dimensional element. The work is presented behind glass within a white, wooden frame.

This mid-century find was painted by an unknown artist. It has been divided into sections and then raised on wooden panels. Laser-cut MDF strips dissect the image providing a contemporary contrast to the original painting.

This work is part of a series of artworks appropriating old oil paintings and giving them a new lease of life for a contemporary audience.
