Punkmetender creates large-scale spin paintings by embedding sculptural elements like aluminum butterflies and diamond dust into centrifugally-applied acrylic paint.
Punkmetender creates large-format spin paintings using centrifugal paint techniques on stretched canvas, wooden panel, and aluminum panel. The artist physically embeds sculptural elements including real aluminum butterflies, gold mirrored aluminum butterflies, aluminum flowers, diamond dust, and LED neon directly into the acrylic paint surface. This process results in works that blur the line between painting and sculpture through their dimensional, light-reflective qualities.
Spin Paintings
The spin paintings feature striking combinations of embedded aluminum butterflies and diamond dust that catch and reflect light across the centrifugally-applied paint surfaces. These works range from 46 to 84 inches and are executed in both circular and rectangular formats. The series, spanning works from 2020 to 2024, is distinguished by the integration of these reflective sculptural elements with the dynamic paint application inherent to the spin painting process.
