Cracked Canvas is an unusual oil painting that is ideal for the contemporary environment: A modern ditty that plays with role of classic art techniques in a modern world. Minimalist works such as this seeks to reduce art works down to the most fundamental and essential elements. As such, if we were to reduce an oil painting to its most fundamental, it would be oil paint and canvas – And this is what we have here.

In this way, Cracked Canvas plays with the concepts as well as the techniques of classic art. One of the greatest problems with traditional oil on canvas works is they are prone to cracking. Therefore, this contemporary art work reflects how traditional work responds to the modern concept - When reduced to its most fundamental we will inevitably have a Cracked Canvas. The artist is therefore revealing what we will have right now.

Indeed, the artist has depicted the point by highlighting the tear – conceptually, this is the tear, the crack that appears when traditional and contemporary concepts and techniques are combined – Like a deep wound it cuts the canvas in two and bleed onto both parts. Upon the Cracked Canvas traditional techniques and contemporary ideas have come together to create a provoking and aesthetically interesting composition.
