Car Art - The Dirty Way
Dust is known to accumulate on cars if not washed off for a long time. After the accumulation some people finally feel obligated to wash their cars while others just leave the dust to continue to accumulate.
Cars with dirty windshields often attract messages such as wash me from other car owners, pedestrians and children and so on. Unknown to them these windshields can become canvases for exemplary pieces of art that have the ability to impress people that enjoy art as well as some of the worst art cynics.
Scott Wade, a San Marcos, Texas based artist saw waiting canvases where others just saw a dirty windshield. He began to explore the possibilities of dust and dirt to make his art " work which has generated a lot of interest.
Wade lives on the north side of San Marcos, along Roadrunner Road; a dusty, hilly area where cars tend to become very dirty in short order. Wade is not bothered " where others see dirt, he sees a canvas waiting for his creative touch.
Unlike a lot of working artists, Wade does not rely on a lot of equipment to make his creations come to life. Along with brushes, he uses Popsicle sticks and his fingers to turn dirt into something beautiful. Scott Wade uses paintbrushes to add detail to his artwork.
Dust of course, is a unique medium which is also somewhat transitory. Eventually, a dirty car will be washed clean by a heavy rain " but until then, Wade's work endures and in a light rain, striking visual effects like patterns and streaks are added to the image. Wade draws on a wide range of subjects in his art " he has made reproductions of some well known work by Da Vinci, Van Gogh and other artists and has even reproduced the faces of the presidents on Mt. Rushmore in dust! He even does portraits of animals and people.
These windshield masterpieces are added to by road dust as the vehicle is driven which adds some new layers of complexity to his artwork. The morning dew creates dots and streaks in his pictures and naturally causes the image to change over time; at least until a cloudburst. The temporary nature of Wade's work is one of the things which make it so interesting to viewers.
Scott Wade has an online gallery where you can view his previous work and if you are lucky, you may even have the opportunity to see him in person. The artist occasionally tours the country exhibiting his work and demonstrating how it is created to always-eager audiences. His work is becoming increasingly popular and there is a national level of buzz about this Texas artist and his work. - 21396
