Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
These four new works were made specifically for Art On A Postcard using painted cardboard packaging off-cuts. Playing with themes around up-cycling, sustainability and reconstruction, fragments of cartoon motifs from previous paintings are recycled and reused. These are painted onto cardboard panels which are built from off-cuts of already recycled packaging material from previous artworks. This material, the detritus of our over-consuming, post lock-down lives carries fragmented cartoon imagery evoking our communal senses of over-exposure, bewilderment and anxiety about the many crises of the contemporary world.
You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do. Anyone found doing so will be subject to legal action.
