Plastic paint medium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plastic paint medium is a painting technique created by contemporary artist Josignacio in 1984, this technique consists in the use of epoxy resins as a "glutinating medium" and "pigments" as colorants, obtaining as a result a real plastic finish with a new visual effect. Art critic Leonel Lopez-Nussa called that new effect, "Newism", and renowned Cuban intellectual Dr. Jose A. Portuondo said, “Josignacio is the artistic representative of the Plastic Era”. In 1996 Josignacio was awarded with the best in show prize at the oldest and most prestigious juried art show of Florida, Hortt 38, to one of his plastic paint medium artworks from his Dualism Serie, the 3 O'clock. Dr. Kenworth W. Moffett former director of Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale said. "This new technique is the result of the marriage of art and technology".
