“It suddenly occurred to me that, like automobiles, TVs, computers, plastic water bottles, and Styrofoam cups, we already have too much “art.” Like any other product (something produced by human effort), we should re-cycle. And what better to re-cycle than the greatest masters of all time.” Metrov

ARTIST’S VISUALIZATION

Pictured here is a sample installation of “The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne” and “The Birth of Venus.” The base images are created from ultra-high resolution photographs of the original paintings. These photos are then digitally enhanced by the artist, adding the first “layer” of contemporary repurposing. Additional 3D layers, such as the transparent discs and cartoon images, may be added according to budget and environment.

Sizes will also vary as per budget and space considerations. The base images are typically printed on artistic grade canvas using archival quality inks. Today’s printing technology allows for excellent, large-scale reproductive quality at affordable prices. Additionally, size limitations are virtually nonexistent. The base images may also be coated with protective vinyls and/or printed on alternative materials to withstand environmental demands.

The 3D layers are manufactured according to the artist’s strict color specifications and opacity requirements, and are suspended by nearly invisible guy wires.

“Art lovers around the world are over the era of anti-aesthetic creative banality. These installations are designed for a maximal emotional experience. They are intended to send people home with a sense of awe and wonder; to be inspired to think about how they might add more joy, creativity, and excitement to their own lives; to realize that we humans are on our own with no restrictions on how we might express ourselves, and thus design our world.”

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born in Los Angeles, Metrov began his professional life in New York City in 1970 working as a designer/illustrator, then as a Fine Arts painter in a loft studio across the street from Andy Warhol’s Factory. He studied painting with Gilbert Stone, a Prix di Rome Scholar, whose mentor was the late, great Gregory Gillespie. Metrov’s paintings currently reside in dozens of collections worldwide. Patterson Sims (former curator New York Whitney Museum), Mick Jagger, Bianca Jagger, Keith Richards, Ben Vereen, and Margaux Hemingway are a few of the aficionados who have collected his work.

He left his mark on America’s 1970’s sub-culture as punk rocker, Tony Coca-Cola, singer/guitarist of the Roosters. After ten years, he segued into motion pictures when he realized that films had the potential to be paintings that moved and made sound. After many years in the film business, writing (screenplays & novels), directing, producing—the whole time continuing to paint, exhibit, and produce art videos—he has finally come full circle and returned, full-time, to his first love, painting.

His main influences are Leonardo da Vinci, Chuck Close, Walt Disney, Pablo Picasso, Gregory Gillespie, Jim Nutt, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Frank Stella.

If you suspect the New Renaissance is long overdue, I’m here to assure you that it has begun. At long last... it has begun.
