The Portfolio of Justin Simoni
Words (Kerouac)
Acrylic on Canvas. 3' x 6' - 12/02
The name of this painting cames partly from the "sitter", whose name really is Nicole and for the amount of squares painted onto the canvas - five hundred and twelve. An interesting way to visualize that number. This painting has been shown with the original image before it was fed through the computer program, the computer program itself printed out, the output of the computer program and then finally, the painting; the final outcome of all this.
I've also used Nicole in place of the original image.
This painting and installation won the Gold Award in RMCAD's 40th annual student show in the "Painting" category.
