Be Still Life Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Sid Kincaid Hillsboro, Oregon Reflective Recycling Fine Art Photography Artist Statement There is so much truth to the saying “One Man’s Trash Is An Other Man’s Treasure”. Here is an interesting example of creating art out of found objects. Old bike reflectors make a wonderful sculpture! I shot this image on a hot summer afternoon. The sun and cloud mix was creating amazing light, just perfect for the right kind of reflective light that I wanted. I shoot with a Nikon and Sony digital SLR. It’s a great day when you create something new in Photography!Read More →

Be Still Life Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Sara Fleenor Eaton, Oh Differing Perspectives Oil Painting Artist Statement Through my work, I examine the phenomenon of Americana through an interpretation of consumerism. My paintings appropriate commercial art in the form of logos, product packaging, and the things we throw away. What began as an initial questioning of traditional still life subject matter has translated into a narrative of an American collective consciousness through the specific products that we buy. My purpose is to explore the relationship between conspicuous and discrete consumerism and to immortalize the ephemeral. My paintings are oil on stretched canvas. TheRead More →
