Painting - Metal Powder Painted On Heated Bees Wax

Description

This is a tribute painting to the two world famous artists who started working together in a building doing there own art - Jasper Johns who started out doing paintings of flags somtimes in bees wax, and - Robert Raushenberg who specialised in doing combines . The two gay artists partners lived and worked
together , were conidered as one artist , but with different works in the end they decided to split up and go there own way to get recognised as artists doing there own styles of work . after that Jasper was so upset that he started doing sad black paintings and on one he made a shaped a wyre which cast a shadow on the painting which said ( NO ) . So now we come to me, I did this painting as a tribut to the two wonderfull artists who broke new ground with there own art's.
Like Jaspers work I used heat on candle wax but in my way I used different metel powder's and mixed and used them together heated to paint with , then I used some wire to make the ( YES ) - and not Jasper's sad wire ( NO ) . As my way of saying that there work was great , as the (180 ) is the HIGH score in darts and that's what they deserved , now you can see why I used a dart board as my image . p.s. I am not gay but I love there work, and doing this. The two artists became famous doing there own style of work's.
