Air Guitar is an abstract, "pseudo-realistic" (c) painting made by using cutting edge action painting techniques developed by the artist. A self-taught painter, Joe Kotas applies layers of color and coatings, using masking tapes and a Helen Frankenthalerian "all-over (and all-in") (c) approach...until the muse makes her appearance. The whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts and the artist is humbled by the magic manifestation of pure creativity channeled by his "pseudo realistic" painting techniques. Glossy gels and silver metal textures add to the graphic impact of this lively piece featuring a heavy metal (air) guitarist and his schizo joe headliner, head banger, band-leader extraordinaire. This painting was finished in a risky, Kotas flourish and it is guaaranteed to feed your ART hunger and quench your ART thirst! Enchant your audience and wow them with your curatorial skills. You will never tire of the many images, textures and relationships playing off each other in this museum quality painting. Archival materials coated with UV resistant satin varnish. Shipped in a tube with dimensions and instructions for proper stretching provided. Signed on verso.
