Max Verstappen (2020) Malerei von Monique De Kruijk

ART DESCRIPTION
A beautiful, fascinating and powerful painting of a world champion made from cans of Red Bull. This artwork was born on the street and feels at home in every room. 

Mixed Media Technique
This mixed media painting is made from Red Bull cans, on which multiple layers of acrylic have been applied using spray paint, brush and markers.

Background
This painting plays with a different use of materials, Red Bull cans are cut open and mounted flat in the background. Then they are placed with overlap, which gives the painting a tough texture. 

Painting
The paintwork consists mainly of shades of deep blue. The other colors of the cans, red and yellow are subtly incorporated into the image. Max Verstappen's determined, courageous and promising facial expression is given extra power by the use of shadows in the painting. When you look at the painting, you get a sense of confidence and hope. Because the face is painted with soft contours, it also has a dreamy effect.

This artwork was created spontaneously. It started with the collecting of cans that had been thrown away in nature and on the streets by other people. In the end, it was decided not to waste these cans, but to make something beautiful out of them. Litter appears to have its beauty. Unlike the other works, where materials are reused, this painting was born on the street.

Framing
This painting has no frame, but the Red Bull cans are visible on the edges of the painting.

COLLECTION
This beautiful art collection mainly consists of music related pop art paintings with celebrities/icons. It is decorative art with everyday utensils from the consumer society. The reuse of materials brings the artworks to life. Monique brings her art to life among people. The collection consists of modern paintings with a touch of retro, vintage style. That is what makes these paintings so special. These distinctive contemporary artworks are not only one of a kind, but they also connect the past with the present.

It symbolizes the circle of life:
Discarded objects get their appreciation again. It's modern art, but it takes you back to the past. The artistic imperfections in the painting give the feeling that the artwork has been alive for years.

Every painting in this collection is eccentric. The character of this collection is enhanced by the many uniquely detailed design aspects that differ per painting.

How did these mixed media paintings come about?
Monique started this collection spontaneously. When she found cassette tapes, she thought it would be a shame to throw them away. There was still too much value in and memories of these beautiful, colorful, nostalgic objects. Monique then decided to turn it into wall art. The cassette tapes were mounted on a wooden plate and then she started painting icons of all times on it. Every artwork from this collection is completely handmade, also the wooden, permanently attached frame.
