Perpetually Destructive Performance Painting

by John P.

Wall ArtI’m not exactly sure how to describe this work, so I’ve decided to call it perpetually destructive performance painting.

Essentially a group of artists start with a canvas of some sort and begin painting and repainting it while a stop motion camera makes a video record of the process.

It allows art lovers to view the entire creative process in a very short time and also demonstrates the skill and imagination of the artists involved.

What an interesting video!

I loved seeing them work through their different concepts on the panel. I did think it was too bad that they painted over their existing work instead of starting the new pieces on another panel.

(I’m an artist myself – there is always that temptation to work over the entire piece again when you are approaching the end. I think we just don’t want to quit. ;) )
