7Electrons Guest Artist - Justin Amrhein For many years I was always awestruck by my husband’s schematics. I loved the intricacies of all the traces and parts assigned. Besides the applied reasons for engineering, they always look like a work of art. When I discovered Justin’s work, I was blown away. Not only are his schematics hand drawn but they also combine the imaginary with mechanical thinking. Truly stunning work. Justin is a Brooklyn, NY based fine artist. His work is primarily created with graphite, acrylic, collage, plexiglas, light box-steel, and/or other mixed media. He writes, “Figuring out how things work and how things are built intrigues me. After studying how a particular object is made and the major components crucial to its function I have the basic knowledge needed to develop versions of those objects or invent an entirely new object all together. In the form of schematic drawings, I can define function and purpose of elements that border between real objects and imaginary creations. By using different forms of labeling systems to illustrate and organize an object, I am able to provide a commentary on a multitude of subjects while creating complicated, purpose-driven machines.” 7E is proud to showcase his most recent work here. First three works (counterclockwise) are titled Replacement Cherry Tree, 2013 (57" X 40"), Threaded Clip Grip, 2013 (18 ¼” x 18"), and Rin Skitter Adjustable Rotator, 2013 (18" X 20") Check out his other work in depth at: http://www.justinamrhein.com -Jinna -- source link
