8 or 9 new turntable paintings in the DJ series - copywrite Mark Holden Jan 17/2012 and 2011, all 24" x 24" each,
oil on wood, My paintings in the DJ Series are fun Expressionist-Pop works of record players. I wanted to bring art and
music together in a colorful almost abstract style, so I chose the record player as a symbol because it looks more interesting
than an MP3 player and I love the look of vinyl. I used oil paint, spray paint and graffiti markers, as it goes with the DJ
culture of spinning records in clubs and to create urban music.
I started the first painting in 1999 and finished it off in 2010. Since then I have done many in the DJ Series in various
versions of the series. Some I did in batches of 4 or 5 or 10 throughout March/2011 to now. The process to do one takes
several days as first I use spray paint, then let it dry, then paint in the colors, let it dry, then paint in the black colors, then let
it dry, then use the permanent oil markers and let it dry. So, since it took so long to do one that is why I decided to do them
in batches, often spending all day on several at once. If you would like to view other artworks please see my website at www.
