Appropriation in art refers to the intentional use of pre-existing objects or works of other artists with little or no change from the originals. For this task, I have decided to appropriate one of my favourite artist Yago Hortal’s pieces, SP90 and SP84 (2015), and make a diptych with this. As an interesting process to start with, I had to rip apart one of my old pieces of work from my Foundation Diploma to recover the canvas frames. Proved very hard to do as the resin had caused the material to stick tight to the back, my practice can be about forgetting preciousness so I had to be brave and just dispose of the material rather than cutting around and keeping the original work. It also proved hard to find/afford the same pure fluorescent pigment that Hortal uses so I used all the colours I had available to me in one evening. My favourite particularly being the gold and copper. I think the scale is an issue here as unlike Yago Hortal, my canvases are small, a lot less room for expressive movements. So, the painting action was appropriated rather than exact process.
