10 New DJ Paintings, A Progression, copywrite Mark Holden Dec/2011 These 10 dedicated to Public Enemy
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-Dec/2011.
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
