Dirty Art!
Talk about unconventional…this is crazy! www.dirtycarart.com
I literally “Stumbleupon.com”ed this website displaying art made on and from dirty car windows by Scott Wade. This guy has created the most elaborate scenes on car windows apparently just from dirt. His compositions have shading, minute detail, and show depth very well. I think my favorite is the gallery home page display. This piece was drawn on the back window of a mini cooper and has the Mona Lisa framed on top on Van Gogh’s Starry Night. I think that because this contains such famous pieces it touches the subject of mass media and replication concerning the art experience. These two pieces are probably the most recognizable works of art in history, and most people who can name these works have never seen them in person. It is because of media, internet, and replicas like this everyone has experienced these artworks, but has it truly been an “art experience”?
