Celestial Spray Paint Art on Circular Saw Blade
This unique piece of contemporary folk art features a celestial-themed landscape painted directly onto the substrate of a reclaimed circular saw blade. The work depicts a series of four distant planets or moons of varying sizes suspended in a star-speckled, dark sky transition that blends into a mountainous, jagged landscape at the base. The artist utilized spray paint techniques, likely involving masking and texture manipulation (such as the 'newspaper crumple' method), to create the craters and topographical details on the planetary bodies. The color palette is restricted to monochrome shades of black, white, and varying grays, evocative of late 20th-century street art and 'space painting' styles. The saw blade itself maintains its original circular form with sharp, hooked carbide teeth around the perimeter, and a central arbor hole. Physical condition appears fair, with visible wear to the paint along the serrated edges and some surface scratches consistent with the use of a recycled industrial tool. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures visible on the front face. The craftsmanship represents a vernacular art style often found in outdoor markets and tourist areas from the 1990s to the contemporary period, repurposing cold, industrial steel into a canvas for cosmic imagination.
