Mirror Mirror by Joe Wallace Abstract Art print on Stretched Canvas 12x18 NO AI

Mirror Mirror is part of an ongoing series by Joe Wallace. This abstract artwork was craeted 100% AI-free, originally created on watercolor paper with India ink, acrylic paint, gesso, and watercolor washes.

This is a print is on stretched canvas and is the same size as the original, 12x18.

The inspiration for this work and others like it in the series comes from the glimpses you get from the windows of a train, in this case the public transportation system in Tokyo and Seoul. The work is inspired by Japan and South Korea--Joe Wallace spent three years in Japan and a year in South Korea and the visual culture in both places definitely leaves an impression.

The title of this work, some might guess, is inspired by the "Spock's Beard" episode of th original Star Trek, Mirror Mirror, where the crew finds themselves against their evil opposites in a parallel universe. It made sense to call it this at the time, but in hindsight I am not QUITE sure what I was on about with that one :-)

This artwork was created under the influence of endlessly looped drum & bass compilations by Ministry of Sound. Joe Wallace is an abstract painter and video artist who specializes in unusual works adjacent to David Lynch, Brian Eno, and Franz Kline.
