“Brain Candy” is a 12 part series of acrylic paintings from 2005.
The intention of this series is to poke fun at art universities that spend a lot of time writing about art, talking about art, and thinking about art, but very little time is spent actually looking at or making art. Aesthetics are routinely dismissed as ‘eye candy’, while certain concepts and ideas are pushed. However, the concepts that art universities deem ‘acceptable’ seem to fall within a very small bubble. Ideas from outside this bubble are either not understood, or rejected outright.

These ‘acceptable ideas’ were printed onto paper cards, and randomly placed on each artwork, to demonstrate how arbitrarily many of these ‘concepts’ seem to be attached to an art work. The tags are non-archival, and will fall off with time, much like how the ideas we attach to an artwork will be lost with time, yet the actual piece of art will remain.

I don’t paint with this technique too often anymore, so if there is enough interest, I could post a video demonstration of how I achieve this effect with acrylic paint
