I have made a lot of works of plasticine.
It is easy to work with, but it is quite difficult to manage the resulting works.
But I have seen it used by others too, in very impressive ways.
Some of my own efforts are as follows
This work is built on heavy mixed media paper, about A3, or 30 x 42 cms, 12 by 17 inches approx and needs to be protected by framing for display.
The same work with different lighting
The real problem comes with sculptures made of plasticine.
They are not so easy to put behind glass!
This was my contribution to a street level art initiative in Madrid, called franqueados.
The work wasn't really in the street, this was just a foto op. It was in the shop behind it in this photo, which sells high class teas. If you are in Madrid, please visit la tienda Valle in calle San Bernardo.
this is the owner of the shop, Julian, having fun with plasticine and yours truly
we started dragging it all over the place
I made a few others too
and the person in charge of franqueados asked me to make a display window for a theatre festival.
This is what I came up with. What do you think?
As usual I confirm that all images are my property, all images are of my own artwork.
Thanks for visiting
