Train Graffiti series, Sandy Sanders "Breaking Out", 17" x 11"", $450

Description: Train Graffiti series, Sandy Sanders, "Breaking Out", 17" x 11" x 2" mixed media, $450 A totally unique, one-of-kind artwork. I may make similar versions for patrons or exhibition but any other versions will be different and include new content and compositional elements, even color. So each of these works are unique. My archival prints that are a part of these works are made using Epson 7600 ultrachrome inks, then varnished for 100+ year display integrity. If kept out of direct sunlight/UV they will last many times longer. The works use reused laminated and acrylic primed cardboard or new tri-wall board. Vegetable starch binders make corrugated cardboard a very archival support medium I have been successfully using since the 1970's. Giclee art print collage and acrylic, tri-wall upcycled primed cardboard, ready to hang. See pix and video. Contact me with any questions. Pick up or delivery available within 25 mile radius around Eugene, OR. Shown at Springfield City Hall Gallery July 2023, New Zone Gallery Klausmeier Room January 2024 and Umpqua Valley Arts (UVA) April - May 2024.

I along with many others share a fascination and love of passenger and freight trains in the Pacific Northwest. My personal passion extends to train graffiti as a popular visual art medium. Some good, some bad, some begginer, some professional and some really cool! Train graffiti is a melding of multiple layers of activity. Street artists painting on the trains and on top of other artists works, train staff reapplying train markings, signage and stickers.Then hobo graffiti artist's small drawings, all combine with the wear & tear of weathering time on train and graffiti. As artist in these works, I act as documentarian of the above, then add my own layers of visual interest. Shaping and reconfiguring close-up view constructions, adding my own "tags", painting and drawing iagery to this new artwork in a variety of forms and views. The project combines digital photography, painting, drawing and relief constructions, often re-utilizing recycled, upcycled cardboard supports. Send me any questions you may have or requests for closeups or technical info.

Sandy was born and raised in San Franscisco, CA. BFA @ Art Center College of Design 1975. MFA @ Otis Art Institute 1979. He exhibited multi-media installation works consistently from 1979 thru 1983. He is a multi-disciplinary, multi media artist that made living as a graphic artist for 41+ years while producing largely non-commercial, conceptual visual art projects. His fine art practice focuses on holistic art experiences that only art an installation environment can provide. His first installation series presented simulations of excavated pieces of street pavement as abstract compositional objects presented as art objects in a gallery environment. Some pieces on the floor, some leaning against the wall, later hanging on the wall. Included in these street installations were: fantasy hand-colored b&w documentary photograph-compositions; found objects from the street; mixed media & 3d assemblages & collections of visual objects documenting & tinkering with the perceptions of our urban streets as a play field of social activity, a vehicle of urban interconnectedness. In 2010, Sandy devised a series of whimsical, low tech, laid back, painted cardboard assemblages that was to function as a longterm art installation at a Portland coffee shop. It was designed to work in that specific shop's varied, colored wall lounge environment to facilitate the pleasure-experience of the ubiquitous local Portland coffee culture. His “Capitalism Sucks Art Show”, bitter sweet, humorous installation works since 2013, question “value” in society. Facing off Ram Board paintings of “things that are free” vs “things that are definitely not-free" in installations on the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area (such as the Fort Mason Art Market Expo 2013) and in New Zone Gallery, Eugene, 2019. All fitting in a pizza box. The “free” paintings were given away. The expensive paintings were priced at the average price of the object depicted. Such as $2 billion for a nuclear power plant. In 2017, he joined the New Zone Artist Collective in Eugene where he is webmaster, graphics specialist and a former Board Member. At the Gallery, he and Ralf Huber have teamed up for two social activist art installations. Two in 2022 and 2023 with another coming in November of 2024, named "Make Art Not War". He also sells Pop Shop Art objects there, like bleached + stenciled t-shirts posters, cards, bookmarks and "Zero" Dollars. In 2018, he began a continuing series of artworks, The Art of Train Graffiti series, created from the documentary photos he took of graffiti'd freight cars laid up on the railcar tracks in Mapleton, and now Eugene, Oregon. He then adds his own digital and/or painted graffiti contributions on whole car compositions and free form multi-layered assemblage works, all on archival primed cardboard supports and constructions. The works present a potentially long term record of society's freight car graffiti activity and enable the public close up views not normally possible otherwise.
