Exhibit: Masterpiece Mobile: Art On A Wireless Canvas
Recorded on September 6, 2012
John Bavaro paints mini "masterpieces" on the iPhone and iPad, often using only his finger as a stylus. Using art apps, Bavaro reinterprets classical paintings from his hyper close-up museum photography, and also recreates versions of the Roman-era "Fayum Portraits" from Egypt using friends and family as his models. His use of the mobile technology illuminates the reaches of Apple's famous "app for that" claim for the wireless generation-endlessly engineering the common device to reach into every area of modern existence.
