Art for a Coffee House #3, Sandy Sanders, 16 x 16 x 2" assemblage, $300

Description: Art for a Coffee House #3, Sandy Sanders, 16 x 16 x 2" assemblage, $300 ©2010. Ready to hang. Acrylic on upcycled, found, then acrylic-primed, cardboard. 18" x 17" x 2" in depth. It has three layers of painted cardboard and is a wall relief painting, ready to hang. No frame needed, self-hanging. This work is part of an Art for a Coffee House series I started in Portland OR in 2010. I have three left and would be thrilled to fill out a consignment to a coffee shop business lookinng to decorate their Coffee House with this cool, laid back whimsical art for their customers to enjoy along with their coffee and treats. I can color coordinate the works to the particular coffee shop environment making it a one of a kind custom, beautiful experience. A totally unique, one-of-kind artwork. I may make similar versions for patrons or exhibition but any other versions will be different and include new content and compositional elements, even color. Each of these are unique. The works use reused laminated and acrylic primed cardboard or new tri-wall board. Vegetable starch binders make corrugated cardboard a very archival support medium I have been successfully using since the 1970's. This is a hand painted 3D artwork. Media: Acrylic on upcycled primed cardboard, ready to hang. See pix and video. Contact me with any questions. Pick up or delivery available within 25 mile radius around Eugene, OR. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artist Bio Sandy Sanders (AKA Marshall Sanders) (b.1951). Sandy was born and raised in San Fransisco, CA. BFA @ Art Center College of Design 1975. MFA @ Otis Art Institute 1979. He exhibited multi-media installation works consistently from 1979 thru 1983. He is a multi-disciplinary, multi media artist making a living as a graphic artist for 41+ years while producing largely non-commercial, conceptual visual art projects. His fine art practice has focused on holistic art experiences that only art an installation environment can provide. His first installation series presented simulations of excavated pieces of street pavement as abstract compositional objects presented as art objects in a gallery environment. Some pieces on the floor, some leaning against the wall, later hanging on the wall. Included in these street installations were: fantasy hand-colored b&w documentary photograph-compositions; found objects from the street; mixed media & 3d assemblages & collections of visual objects documenting & tinkering with the perceptions of our urban streets as a play field of social activity, a vehicle of urban interconnectedness. In 2010, Sandy devised a series of whimsical, low tech, laid back, painted cardboard assemblages that was to function as a longterm art installation at a Portland coffee shop. It was designed to work in that specific shop's varied, colored wall lounge environment to facilitate the pleasure-experience of the ubiquitous local Portland coffee culture. His “Capitalism Sucks Art Show”, bitter sweet, humorous installation works since 2013, question “value” in society. Facing off Ram Board paintings of “things that are free” vs “things that are definitely not-free" in installations on the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area (such as the Fort Mason Art Market Expo 2013) and in New Zone Gallery, Eugene, 2019. All fitting in a pizza box. The “free” paintings were given away. The expensive paintings were priced at the average price of the object depicted. Such as $2 billion for a nuclear power plant. In 2017, he joined the New Zone Artist Collective in Eugene where he is webmaster, graphics specialist and a former Board Member. At the Gallery, he and Ralf Huber have teamed up for two social activist art installations. Two in 2022 and 2023 with another coming in November of 2024, titled, "Make Art Not War". He also sells Pop Shop Art objects there, like bleached + stenciled t-shirts posters, cards, bookmarks and "Zero" Dollars, at New Zone Gallery. In 2018, he began a continuing series of artworks created from the documentary photos he took of graffiti'd freight cars laid up on tracks in Mapleton, and now Eugene, Oregon. He then adds his own digital and/or painted graffiti contributions on whole car compositions and free form multi-layered assemblage works, all on archival primed cardboard support constructions. The works present a potentially long term record of society's freight car graffiti activity and enable the public close up views, not normally possible otherwise.
