This collage/painting is proudly hanging in my solo show at the Gallery of the Lorelton (Wilmington DE), which will be opened today!
I'm so excited!!
Collage Art is unique because you take
already existing materials to design
your own piece of art.
All you need is an open mind and the
willingness to explore.
I love working with traditional methods and
materials in a total unexpected way.
I used different kind of paper, newspaper, acrylic paint, ink and pencil.
I wanted to give this Collage/Painting an old look
by painting the music sheets and background with
raw sienna, which give the collage this antique
feel.
Purposely I was leaving some light
areas to provide the eye to travel
throughout the piece.
For "Sonata for Piano and Violin" I was influenced by my
musical background and by a strong
sense of color (earth tones)
After I almost finished this collage/painting I glued the canvas board on a larger canvas, to incorporate the piece and to give it the desired depth.
Enjoy this Sonata for Piano and Violin of MOZART K304 Gil & Orli Shaham
