Oil Advertisements

About This Project:
This piece is a continuation of my previous oil painting works. This time, instead of obfuscating the subject matter, the context of the painting is altered... by turning it into an ad. Art is used in advertisements all the time, but an oil painting isn't common fodder for commerce. By laying vintage ad language over the top, we turn it into something entirely different than what the original artist intended.
