This process also gives me the opportunity to disassemble the image and strategically reassemble it, in order to evoke possibility and function.</span></p> <!--EndFragment--> </span></p>http://www.spulos.net/post/8950540202http://www.spulos.net/post/8950540202Mon, 15 Aug 2011 09:21:00 -0400<a href="http://www.spaziodellarte.com">Spazio Dell' Arte Gallery</a>: <p>‘Idle hands’ By: Steven Papadopoulos</p>http://www.spulos.net/post/8084179803http://www.spulos.net/post/8084179803Tue, 26 Jul 2011 09:03:59 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loxy6r5OSS1qez9swo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>‘Untitled’ 2011</p> <p>4’x2’</p> <p>Acrylic medium & oil paint</p>http://www.spulos.net/post/8083872248http://www.spulos.net/post/8083872248Tue, 26 Jul 2011 08:47:14 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfjh6tOzsi1qez9swo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfjh6tOzsi1qez9swo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfjh6tOzsi1qez9swo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfjh6tOzsi1qez9swo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfjh6tOzsi1qez9swo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><p class="MsoNormal">Cognitive Machinery</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This series was constructed to expose urban sighting.<span>  </span>Machinery and inanimate objects such as unfinished building infrastructure are disassembled and stripped of functionality.<span>  </span>Then, they are strategically reassembled in order to evoke possibility and potential within the viewer’s mind.<span>  </span>The series departs from my previous work in its unique process and inspiration.<span>  </span>Drawing from still photographs, photocopied transfers are left to seep into the rigid support.<span>  </span>Each subsequent layer is partitioned using a clear acrylic gesso.<span>  </span>I then return to my signature creative style finishing with an oil base used to convey atmospheric perspective accompanied by natural physical depth.</p> <!--EndFragment--></p>http://www.spulos.net/post/2910620502http://www.spulos.net/post/2910620502Mon, 24 Jan 2011 13:11:15 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lb5goqp8hZ1qez9swo1_500.jpg"/><br/> 'The Hair Machine' 2010<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lb5goqp8hZ1qez9swo2_500.jpg"/><br/> 'John' 2010<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lb5goqp8hZ1qez9swo3_500.jpg"/><br/> 'Sorry for the inconvenience' 2010<br/><br/> <p>The work in this section is some of my most recent work that were entered into the annual ‘Square Foot show’ 2010.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">’John’</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span> -Pencil, photocopies on 4 layers of frosted Mylar.</span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">’The Hair Machines’</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span> -Pencil, photocopies and oil paint</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>‘Sorry for the inconvenience’</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> -Acrylic paint, Mylar, on printed paper</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><s><br/></s></p> <!--EndFragment-->http://www.spulos.net/post/1445376908http://www.spulos.net/post/1445376908Sat, 22 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lb5gqiWp211qez9swo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>In the studio 2006.
