Nadine and I have made a lot of posters for concerts and music related events. We love music of course, but its always nice to work out side of that realm. This was our first opportunity to make a poster for an art show, and it presented a whole range of challenges unique to the medium. Objects of Affection is a three person show featuring painters Anthony Adcock, Barbara Krol, and Jeff Stevenson all members of the Chicago Artist Coalition, who sponsored the show. Each of their work includes realistically painted elements generally focused on one object (hence the title of the show). Coming up with a striking image that both highlighted the concept of the show while not casting too big of a shadow over the work of the artists featured in the show was not an easy task. How do you advertise an art show you are not in with your own art? Our answer, nature! We started this poster off with a photocopy of a crinkly greenish-brown leaf, using its shape to prime the paper for the following colors. From there we used textures and painted elements to fill in the small sections of the leaf, creating a patchwork of color and and shape.
