Sally Smith
Sunflower Seeds No. 3

2021

About the Item

Artist Commentary: This minimalist painting is created with charcoal made from sunflower seeds. The sunflower seed charcoal creates organic lines woven through various hues of white oil paint. The effect is a cross between a minimalist nature painting and a botanical drawing. Keywords: charcoal and oil paint, botanical, monochromatic, white painting, line 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...
