Art by Medium: Oil Pastel

This mixed media painting focuses on alien spaceships taking people, presumably as they are getting their groceries. Flying saucers abduct horses, musicians, and mediators alike in a red beam. Birds, horses, and rhinos also roam the painting. The painting's main colors are blues, oranges, reds, and yellows with black accents. Casey McGlynn grew up in rural Ontario, where he would sit in front of the television and draw on old grocery bags and scrap paper tirelessly, creating self-taught surrealist pop art. McGlynn attended the Ontario College of Art and Design, however, he was not enrolled in the visual arts.

McGlynn’s work is as much about revealing the truth and expressing emotions as it is about documenting actual fact. His paintings reach into a wealth of historical influence and skill. Creating symphonic glyphs on rudimentary, raw quilt-like patterns, the works simultaneously evoke rural Southern quilts...

🔸 _Title: Astro Boy 🔸 _Artist: Diego Tirigall 🔸 _Year of Creation: 2023 🔸 _Dimensions: 1 meter by 1 meter 🔸 _Medium: Acrylic, enamel, spray paint, oil pastel 🔸 _Support: Canvas stretched on wooden frame 🔸 _Condition: New work sold directly by the artist 🔸 _Provenance: Directly from the artist's studio 🔸 _Location: Spain 🔸 _Signature: On the front and back 🔸 _Detailed Description: Diego Tirigall's "Astro Boy" is a nostalgic tribute to the iconic animation character, presented through the distinct lens of urban art. This work invites deep reflection on our digital age, depicting Astro Boy as a white specter, suggesting the loss of an authentic childhood now supplanted by the flickering lights of screens. This message of resistance against the omnipresence of digital technology is reinforced through Astro Boy's stance, akin to Michelangelo's David, an iconic symbol of resistance and humanity. This piece is part of Tirigall's "Cracking the Kids Code" series, reflecting his concerns about the growing role of technology in child-rearing. "Astro Boy" invites the viewer to contemplate the space screens...
