About the Item
I love patina- “a green or brown film on the surface of bronze or similar metals, produced by oxidation over a long period...a gloss or sheen on a surface resulting from age or polishing.”
I’ve always enjoyed antique stores and junk yards because of the patina on the objects there and the quality of craftsmanship and solid materials. These tiny tins represent my love of a time when things were made to last, when the lettering and imagery for advertising on objects spared no expense or level of quality to impress. The tins themselves are highly collectible and beautiful all on their own and are the perfect vessels for my timeless representations of the dark beauty and energy of both New Orleans and ‘70’s Times Square. Frankly my lifelong approach in art has been mostly about discovering new ways to produce a “gloss or sheen or film” that interests me, I find beautiful in its way and which I’d want to replicate and study for a few years.
When you open these tiny tins and first see the energy and color contained within, the realization of just how small and significant each brushstroke is, you can almost hear and feel the noise of loud intoxicated people celebrating, car horns blaring, jazz and marching bands playing and feel what it must be like to be in that environment. It’s almost chaotic and it’s definitely exciting.
