heat applied t-shirt graphics on canvas

2017

Borna Sammak's work blurs the boundaries between commercial culture and fine art, transferring the casual, everyday aesthetic of t-shirt graphics onto canvas through a heat application process. The resulting imagery carries the worn, tactile quality of mass-produced apparel, yet is elevated and recontextualized within the formal space of painting. This tension between the disposable and the archival invites viewers to reconsider how meaning and value are assigned to objects and images in contemporary consumer culture.
