ARTWORK THEORY REPORT
A heavily textured masterpiece, weighing over 8 pounds (3 kilograms) and is comprised of gypsum, steel, construction bolts, oodles of river sand and layers of cloth material ranging from old rags, torn jerseys and strips of denim. The materials are grounded on multiple (sandwiched) sheets of foam board. Heat and water-resistant adhesive was liberally employed to bond the materials together as well as to score and perforate the layers of board to achieve the torrentuous aura. To ascertain a permanent bond, nails and hand stitches were used in addition to the adhesive to attach the shards of metal to the foam board and canvas. The painting is housed in a custom frame and is shielded from potentially harmful in and outdoor UV light rays by a tailored museum glass, which, along with its nearly invisible finish and anti-reflective quality, ensures a long archival life. The artist signature is rendered in gold at the bottom left corner of the canvas.
CONDITION OF ARTWORK
Original condition. The stained-like blue on blue parts within the composition are intentional and was achieved by applying layers of the same color in disparate seasons and curing in different temperatures. The artist signature is rendered in gold at the bottom left corner of the canvas.
