The present lot, an example from Escobar's Blacksmith Project is created by stapling a canvas to the back wall of a blacksmith workshop and allowing the blank surface to slowly accumulate debris from spraying doors, gates, railings and fixtures. The artist stops by to review the progress to the composition and ultimately decides when he considers the painting complete.
