Posted by RAYGUN Not sure were to post this? So ... I thought you'd be interested in the artist Naomi Safran-Hon who creates paintings of abandoned houses. I wonder if she paints on site "En plein air"? Good article on her painting in the NY Times today. https://www.nytime...mi-safran-han.html

"Ms. Safran-Hon...
begins her compositions with ink-jet-print renderings of her photographs of the interiors of abandoned residencies in her neighborhood, Wadi Salib, in Haifa. She then lathers on wet cement at selected points in the image so that when dry its textured surface juts out at the viewer, making the walls palpably stony, and pockmarking the rest of the scene through holes gouged in the canvas."
According to the article you shared, it's not a painting. It's mixed media starting with an inkjet print as its base. (So I think that answers the question of plein-air-or-not, unless she's dragging a along a large-format printer, laptop, cement mixer, and generator.)
Posted by RAYGUN Any UE here who make art with or at the places they explore? |
spacetimecurvature takes some of her shots, posterizes the palette, and does it as a more-abstract version in acrylic on canvas.
(I did this as a quick snap without doing as much as I should've with the lighting. Apologies if it does not render her intent well-enough.)
