Rico Solinas' decision to use metal saw blades as the canvas for his portraits of art museums is the artist's tribute to the American work ethic. Thirteen years in the making and featuring buildings from the Louvre to the Hermitage to ASU's own art museum, this exhibition reflects Solinas' belief that an artist should never replicate what is already in a museum, but should instead create something unique and entirely new.
Rico Solinas, selection from "100 Museums: Paintings of Buildings That Have Paintings Inside," 2011, oil paint on metal saw blades.
About the artist: Rico Solinas is an artist based in San Francisco.
