What is an example of mixed media?
1 Answer

Mixed media artwork is a combination of materials used by the artist to create a sculpture, painting, print, etc.
Sculptors can use metal and stone together. Some works on paper include different printmaking processes (i.e. screen print, monotype, collograph, relief printing) as well as drawing with pastel, charcoal, pencil, etc., including painting with various kinds of paint and other materials can be added like paper, fiber or objects.
Examples of mixed media by artists can be found in the work of John Hogan. His paintings employ the use of paint, and artist crayon creating a textured and layered appearance. Melanie Yazzie creates works on paper by laying a foundational image in paint or gouache and layering screen printing, monotype, relief print, and or linocuts to the imagery and also charcoal or pencil drawing.

Infinity, monumental contemporary white granite sculpture by Khang Pham-New

Infinity, monumental contemporary white granite sculpture by Khang Pham-New
white granite sculpture for outdoor or indoor installation. Sculpture garden ready with a connected base. Granite is durable and easy to care for and can withstand all climates. Polished surface is light grey/white.
We first saw his sculptures when they were featured in an outdoor sculpture Biennale in Vancouver with many notable and established sculptors (like Magdalena Abakanowicz, Dennis Oppenheim, Albert Paley, Bill Reid, and Yoko Ono). His work stood out to us and we’ve represented Khang internationally ever since, exhibiting and placing his sculptures in public and private collections for the last 11 years. The response has been amazing. His abstract biomorphic shapes are contemplative and beautiful to view.
Khang says: “It is my passion to create monumental sculpture. I invite the viewer to touch and interact with the work. It is especially nice to see small children in and around the large pieces.” Pham-New is interested in the art and form of sculpture as a basis for contemplation and meditation.
Khang Pham was born in war-torn South Vietnam...

As an artist, I work to serve as an agent of change by encouraging others to learn about social, cultural, and political phenomena shaping the contemporary lives of Native peoples...
