I've
created a large painting in the style of Jackson Pollock, with a window
in the middle where a video plays and shows that part of the painting
(where the window has been cut) as it is being created... below is the
video itself.
In other words, if you see this piece hanging, you may glance at it and think: "There goes another artist channeling Jackson Pollock..." but if you stay a few seconds, the middle of the painting dissolves (it is a video) and it starts with a blank, white space, which slowly gets covered in drips of paints, until the piece is finished again!
And here is the video that plays in that middle window...

Below is the piece drying inside my studio in between layers of paints... note the window in the center...
And here is the work, still with the cut out window in place, but now with all the Pollockian layers of paint... |
And
below you can see several images of the finished piece with various
parts of the video playing where the painting develops... some shot
inside studio and one outside in bright sunhine... but behold
"Channeling Jackson Pollock"
