Came across this guy on the ArtCat site and thought his work was pretty interesting. He uses car paints over polystyrene and then sands the gloss down, gives it a history. I start thinking about perfection and the human hand or at least touch and how those ideas sort of meet at yearning. There's always something about artwork that has that subtractive quality, of being sanded down then worked over again that creates the desire in the viewer to touch, even with just the eyes. Anyways, here are some examples of his work. Couldn't find a lot of large images to bring over but he does have some photos on Flickr. Also a website at http://thomas.ovilsen.com/
