Steampunk – it’s hugely popular and sales verify that popularity. Once again, my supply of steampunk canvases has dwindled and I’m busy creating new works majoring in my steampunk version of Assemblage Art on canvas and this is the latest – fresh from my art studio. I’m not one who gets into the floating legs or hollow eyed doll faces one often sees in steampunk art; I prefer to concentrate instead on the industrial and Victorian aspects of this fascinating science fantasy sub-genre.
On a 14″ x 11″ stretched canvas, the depth of this piece is 1.5″. The background has multiple coats and spritzes of paint with stenciled textured designs and pieces of spooky cloth providing additional dimension. Multiple layers of embellishments are added which are further finished off with metallique and antique waxes and more spritzes of paint.
Assemblage is the method of creating a larger art piece from smaller objects. Best described as a 3D collage on canvas, it contains numerous vintage “found objects” as well as newer embellishments. This piece includes over 90 embellishments/found objects and more than 200 metal beads.
Vintage elements include: large metal flower, adding machine keys, washers, wooden leaves, various earrings, wood round, bracelet links, jewelry makings, beaded earring, beads, two brooches, and buttons. Newer pieces provide its pure steampunk look with such items as gears, clock faces, ancient symbol, raven, metal balls, Vitruvian man, flower face, crown, knob, sun, cabochons, heart, juggling pin, bow and arrow and various metal embellishments
SOLD
Dimensions: 14″ x 11 x 1.50″
Hangers are attached and, while I prefer the no-frame look, this is ready for framing. This piece will also display nicely on a large table easel.
