Jasper Johns Study.

These images are taken from my own work I feel they relate to my study of Jasper Johns. They represent images that are know to the viewer but I have distorted them with the use of different mediums. Johns looked at the use of different mediums to create his early images such as Flag he used collage, encaustic and oil paint.



Detail of Flag (1954-55). Museum of Modern Art, New York City. This image illustrates Johns' early technique of painting with thick, dripping encaustic over a collage made from found materials such as newspaper. This rough method of construction is rarely visible in photographic reproductions of his work.
