Here's proof that art is all around us. This is just random splaterings of paint left on the sidewalk by a sign writer for a Italian deli in Cabramatta West. He gets paid to paint "Jap Pumpkins 99 cents a Kilo!!!" and in doing so, over time, he's creating another master piece akin to Jackson Pollock.
Jackson Who?
The First Pollock i saw was "Summertime" in London's Tate Modern ten years ago.
But you don't need to go that far,next time your in Canberra, go check out Pollock's "Blue Poles" at The National Gallery. In 1973 the Whitlam government paid 1.3 million dollers for the work... Its now thought to be worth upwards of 180 million...
Not a bad investment...
I wonder what the sign writers work is worth? I'll go back in a year or so and see how the artwork in coming along... maybe even try and get a photo of the artist at work...
Hope you like it...
