Yahara Boom Poster
Here is the new poster for my show, Yahara Boom, starting June 1st at Yahara Bay Distillery Gallery. It is an 11 x 17 poster on 100# coated stock. The design is based on the original fused burned photograph Red Fused Orange.
If you would like the poster signed, simply mention it in the notes.
There will be about 25 posters FREE at the artist reception June 10th from 12 to 5 pm at Yahara Bay Distillery. Yahara Boom will run June 1 to June 30th.
American gunpowder artist, Vega carefully places powder and fuses on the surface of the art, which he positions horizontally on the floor (or blast table). When ignited, first the fuses burns instantly along the cord lines, igniting the gunpowder and creating a blast, which then vanish in clouds of smoke. The result is a textured surface that looks and feels like an explosion—the art is blackened, charred, and erupted, arrested in a state of being created in a flash.
When the fuse is lit there is a moment of uncertainty. What will happen? It is at that moment that true art exists.
We kept a small lot at The Blast Factory so you can't make the show you can still get one.
