'The brush becomes him.'
The 'BRUSH WITH FAME' numbered series (2023) evolved from its precursor titled 'BRUSH WITH FAME' (2020).
Each piece showcases the brush(es) of one artist from a collection of participating artists from around the world, so far including Canada, USA, Poland, France, England, Australia, Germany and Italy. Some of these artists have a lot of fame, and some have very little. Some want fame, and some don't care. For some it simply eluded them while others are new on the scene.
What they have in common is that they were all used by the contributing artists to spread paint, whisk out details, and apply varnishes and adhesives. They have seen early mornings and late nights, and their acquired patinas and bruises have stories to tell. These the instruments used to create art on canvases and panels and assemblages, some of which remain stored in studios, while others hang on gallery walls, adorn the spaces of patrons and collectors from around the world, and are featured in office boardrooms and art publications everywhere.
