Circus Banners

Acrylic house paint on canvas

2016

Los Angeles CA

Interpretations of old circus sideshow banners. None of them are connected to any productions or based on actual circus acts. They represent when false advertisement goes so far it enters into the realm of mythology.

Despite their large size, the paintings are easy to transport. They’re on unstretched canvas, and can be rolled up like a carpet. They have the rough nomadic quality of a circus tent.
