This is the collection of all three copper pieces used on the set of COLLEGE HILL 5. The show began March 11, 2008 on BET Network and is airing currently. I have decided to make the whole set available to collectors, so that the winning bidder will be the only one in possession of these paintings from the set. They can be hung together or separately, and each piece is 24" x 24". When hung together, they cover an area of 72" x 24", YOU ARE BIDDING ON THREE PIECES WHICH, WHEN HUNG TOGETHER, COVER AN AREA OF 72" x 24".
To create these pieces, the boards were wrapped with copper sheets, and were painted with brightly colored blocks. Not all of the squares are outlined. These paintings were hanging in Dru and Dorion's bedroom for the 13 week run. There is a very subtle thumbprint on the bottom left square of "College Hill 1", and two more thumbprints above the signature line on "College Hill 3". The winning bidder will have their choice of having it painted over or leaving it (which may make it more collectible). If you are the winning bidder, not only will you be investing in the work of a rising emerging artist, you will also be investing in collectible memorabilia from rising stars of the show. College Hill is produced by Edmonds Entertainment and has record breaking viewership for the network. You can go to BET.COM and see these paintings featured in the house tour pics and video--or just watch the show. These pieces were very prominent in the first and second show so far, and will most likely be prominent in the rest of the show as the series unfolds. I am delighted to have been chosen as an artist for the show and even more delighted to be able to pass these actual pieces from the set along to you.
As a bonus, the winning bidder will receive a copy of the write up in the Gwinnett Daily Post about these paintings being used on the set, and I will also send the winning bidder an autographed DVD set of season five as soon as it is released (probably in the Fall or Winter of 2008).
As with all my copper paintings, nail and hammer marks are retained. This painting will change in different lighting due to the reflective qualities of the copper underneath. This painting is wired and ready to hang. The copper "eyes" are placed in such a way that the painting may be rewired to hang horizontally--or even upside down. Each copper eye has a felt backing to protect your wall. The painting is signed and dated on the back.
My work is titled based on current personal experience and the look of a piece. When a painting is purchased, I reveal the explanation of title to the owner. We are the only ones who have this information, unless the owner decides to reveal it. In this way, the owner and I have a personal connection through the painting. The winning bidder will receive a Certificate of Authenticity and an Explanation of Title.
I am one of a handful of artists in the country who uses copper as a canvas. You may see many artists that use metallic paint to create a shiny effect, but I am the only artist on this site that uses this unique and amazing medium.
