Originals in this selection, Urban and Pop, Found Objects.
Everyday life as material
Street finds, packaging and pop signs: urban painting helps itself to everyday life and puts it on display. Anyone exploring pop paintings with found objects for sale meets pictures that work with quotations, remnants and loud color.
Bottle caps, labels, boards and metal parts appear in urban pictures as colorful accents or as part of lettering. Pop tradition turns consumption and the street into a subject, and found objects prove it quite literally.

Color and surface
Loud tones, stencils and glossy lacquers are typical. Beside matte found pieces they stand out even more. A protective coat on the picture and on the objects keeps dust and fingerprints from leaving marks. Ask in the description what the work was sealed with.
Space and mood in the room
Such pictures work in hallways, stairwells and living rooms with clear walls. Do not hang them too close to other motifs, or the force of the colors fizzles. Trial hanging with masking tape shows how much room the work takes.
