About the Item

Artist Commentary: This large minimalist painting is centered around a dot grid made from US dollar bills. The dollar bills were collected from investors and then made into charcoal. Beneath the grid are subtle variations of white oil paint. Laid over the grid are circles made of copper and silver oil paint, representing coins. Ovals made from green oil paint represent dollar bills. Mauve and beige ovals represent the coveted Hermes Birkin Bag. Keywords: money art, minimalist dot painting, grid painting, geometric painting Artist Biography: I create my own charcoal from meaningful objects (scientific, political, sentimental). My charcoal art is typically abstract or geometric. I have developed several methods of applying the charcoal to paper and linen, often in combination with oil paint. I also create figurative oil paintings. These are often inspired by journeys and landscapes. I am also inspired by vintage photographs and movies, as well as images relating to current world events.

Kompromat No. 2
By Sally Smith
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary: This minimalist oil painting is created with oil paint and charcoal made from Trump's "Art of the Deal" and Playboy magazines. The calmness belies the blackmail referred to in the title. Trace amounts of human urine are mixed with acrylic medium painted over the charcoal lines. This medium has not color or texture, but is a tool for making the charcoal adhere to the oil primed linen. Keywords: political art, small minimalist painting...
