A study of color, branding and found-object art.

John Lunceford has created a collection of street art that turns trash to treasure. With one eye to the ground Lunceford bikes the streets of Brooklyn in search of the almighty — a truly flat can. Soda cans, beer cans, energy drinks and the like. But not just any can “it’s gotta be flat”. Not kinda flat but really, really flat — like the earth used to be.

The found cans are carted back to the studio for photographing. The collection is mounting and the tapestries being created are ongoing. In all of their glorious color and cultural iconography there’s a certain accidental irony that results in an almost Rosenquist aesthetic.
