URBAN AESTHETIC no.49 (Nothing)

Painted wood blocks, acrylic paint, and collage on board

38 x 34 cm (Framed)

Black is the total absence of light, and therefore colour. Black is nothingness. After completing a black, white, and grey urban aesthetic commission I became interested in the idea of monochromatic designs for the Urban Aesthetic series.

The composition was inspired by set design from the 2020 version of the film, Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve.

Like its white counterpart I enjoy the way light plays against the surface as you move around the piece.

General information

Web images: Every care has been taken to ensure a faithful reproduction of the original artwork and where possible I upload high resolution scans. However, some variations may occur when viewing online. If you have any questions about the image please do not hesitate to contact me.

Framing: Everything looks better framed. Most of the pieces from Urban Aesthetic are framed unless stated otherwise.

Care: Art is unique and can last a lifetime, and beyond, if cared for properly. Do not hang work above radiators as this can cause warping to some frames and dry out the glue used in the making of the collage. Unlike with Gremlins, water will not multiply your artwork, avoid hanging work in damp areas and near water sources; kitchens and bathrooms should be avoided unless you have adequate ventilation. Avoid hanging work in direct sunlight as this will fade the colours and images over time.

Cleaning Urban Aesthetic pieces: Urban Aesthetic pieces are three dimensional and are prone to collecting dust as they are unglazed. Once a month I recommend using a soft synthetic, full bodied brush (like a blurring and blending foundation brush) to remove dust from raised areas and running a hairdryer on cool setting across the front of the piece.
