Arty-Fact: "Applying the effects of our street art to our studio work led to the 'painted rip', a major development in our aesthetic. We began evolving the 'painted rip' in our canvases and then in print making. The process was appealingly organic. Before our eyes, the images we layered took on fresh meanings. Words and visuals were juxtaposed in unexpected ways, intricately weaving together to suggest new narratives.
"The process emphasised serendipity. Icons we'd employed for years took on entirely different dynamics alongside new images. We felt like we were recapturing the spontaneity of our earliest work. The language of FAILE was reinvented." ~ FAILE
Savage Dreams (F-Head) is a great example of the aesthetic achieved using the 'painted rip'.
