Nude Exploding No. 3
Nude Exploding No. 3. (2015) 12" x12" This is what you get when you cross cave art, a sexy photo, and an explosion. It looks like she has great hair and a bad knee.
Burned and textured with a lot of energy.
Drawn with fast red and super high-speed white fuse. And blasted with and gunpowder and cannon powder on white acrylic coated paper.
Primitive, modern, and abstract - a Stick Vega original.
Unframed
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.
