Analía Saban — Painting (with Brush)
Analía Saban

Painting (with Brush)

A stretched canvas rendered entirely in acrylic paint is embedded with a physical paintbrush, its handle and bristles fused directly into the surface of the work. Saban collapses the distinction between tool and finished object, forcing the instrument of creation to become part of the painting itself. The piece interrogates the conventions of traditional painting by making its own process and materials the central subject.

Medium
acrylic on canvas, plastic brush
