Artist Spotlite – William F. Martin
Artist”s Name: William F. Martin
Location: Glendale, Arizona
Title of Artwork: Homeland Security
Dimensions of Artwork: W: 20″ H: 16″
Medium: Oils
Support: Linen Canvas
Website: http://www.wfmartin.com/
Describe this Piece: I created this painting of my own back gate. By the open padlock, the rickety hardware with nails falling out, the peeling paint, and the ineffective “watch lizard”, I am trying to take a symbolic slap at the head of this administration’s Homeland Security. She has chosen to term acts of terrorism against this country as “manmade disasters”, and my painting is meant to convey to the viewer how little “security” truly exists on her watch.
This painting received a First Place In Oils, and a Best Of Show at the 2010 Arizona State Fair.
