This is another handcut collage artwork from my early days. Made from magazine pieces but this time i experimented a little bit more and painted some of the areas.

I worked in a very different way than normal and created the artwork in 2 different areas. First i made the sketch on a transparent paper and used it as a guide to make the painted area with thick coloured paper. I cut and pasted the pieces with a stick glue and when it was ready i spray painted it black and then start working on the highlights, dry brushing it with grey/silver colour. I also added a brown wash to make it a little rusty and give a feeling of decay.

Then i started working on the collage area . again with the same transparent paper as a guide but pasted the magazine parts on a thin black paper. When everything was ready i cut them and glued them again on the main artwork. The two different techniques combined created an artwork with a lot perspective and depth.

It was one of the most difficult artworks and need a lot of attention, but seeing it now i regretted not doing more with this style. The combination of the two techniques created a unique result, may i should keep it in mind for a future project.

I happy thatyou like it @catwomanteresa:)

Great job, you managed to make it look like the metal got oxidized and it looks very realistic, I also liked the little figures in the corners, I think one of them has a bloody tear dripping! excellent work, I really liked the colors that you got for hair and eyes, the droplets that flow from the iron rivets are very cool! Thank you for sharing, this is very interesting to me!

Really interesting, George :) I like how you were experimental and brave, the form of the figure partially captured in the metallic shapes and partially shown through the windows of the wall.... seems to really speak well about the title.... Gray Prison. As if even the parts of her that are "free" are only free in so far as that they can have their little windows of freedom. Maybe I'm reading too much into it?

It is certainly interesting that you had painted parts of the picture and collaged the visible woman. The combination of the two different art genres create a very interesting and creative vision :) Very nice work, George :)

Thank you very much Spider:) You are reading exactly the message i wanted to send through this artwork:) I will try doing a mixed media collage again in the future:)
