SUSAN BIEBUYCK: Cereal Box Painter

I, Susan Biebuyck, am working on trash!
Known as a food artist, I decided to flip the idea and paint on food containers. Sometimes I paint about food, or sometimes it’s a subject with a link to the specific container. I like to lend a hand to the environment, recycling and using the containers’ rich colors and shapes to intensify my work.

I like to see text and odd colors peek through my subject matter. In these works, I like having fun with the energy of patterns and color. I had to learn new ways to gesso these works to keep them archival and allow me to use oil paints over the many glossy/plastic surfaces.
