The fun thing about working with stencils is part of the work is already done. You can now focus more on finding different ways to use them. For the past few months i've been working on a series of abstraction/ stencil combinations (i have a previous post about one or two). But i haven't been limitingthose stencils to that project.
I was recently given an old faded and weathered american flag. My first thought was how i could turn it into multiple pieces of art. Using two of my recent stencils i made two pieces i'm calling (for lack of a better name) the flag paintings.
The image about is of two soldiers wearing gas masks. It is oil and spray paint on the american flag mounted on wood. The lower image i'm calling "The American" was produced using the same process.
I'm having a lot of fun with this series. I'm starting some sketches for future ideas and stencils. We'll see where it goes.
