Renewed Piece of History

Work in Progress piece.

I was walking around one day to the Japanese antique store and found this old piece of Japanese paper. As I was walking back to the hotel, the paper was so dried that it started cracking. To preserve it, once I went home I tried collaging it onto a painting that I am working on.

You never know what you might find in an old items/antique store, on a bright sunny day.

I love finding old items, it is an adventure every time. :)

"From Then To Now" Oil Painting by Chanp

"From Then To Now"

8'' x 10''
Oils and Gold Leaf on Wood

Here is a new Oil Painting I recently finished and varnished.


Framed.

The idea of this piece is to juxtapose new and old culture, the traditional japanese elegant kimono with contemporary earphones as a western oil painting. How the times have changed, but some things remain to be remembered.

Thank you to Spectrum, this will be included in their upcoming 19th Annual.
I will also be displaying it at the Spectrum Fantastic Art LIVE Event coming up in Kansas City on May 18-20 (This weekend).
