Clone then Heal

My latest project is an online work that I am going to publish on www.quarantinegallery.com
pretty soon. Over the years I have been downloading images of my favourite artworks, most of which are set in the standarised 'white walls grey floors' gallery setting which forms either a one point or two-point perspective image. What I mean by this is that there is usually a similar formal concept to every image taken of artworks within the gallery environment. I started using photoshop to place my own artworks into these images. But when I started making mistakes with the clone and heal brush in photoshop I was pretty impressed by the results. So what I began to do then was to completely copy entire gallery websites or artist websites and create a fake version in which all the artworks are smudged and blended into the walls of the gallery by using the Clone and Heal brush in Photoshop. I'm a pretty big fan of Steffan Bruggeman and his work is suitably focused on erasure and obliteration so its perfect for being 'Cloned and Healed'. Here are a few examples of what will be on the website. I'll hopefully upload it this month.
