24 Involuntary Paintings from Around the World
By PAUL LASTER, SEPT. 2015
Involuntary Painting is a Facebook Group formed by artist Millree Hughes and poet, artist and musician Paul Conneally. The group asks the question: “With all the changes in Contemporary Art over the last 100 years what (out there, in the world) could be mistaken for a painting?”
Over the past year the group as expanded its Facebook presence to nearly 2000 members and images with the hashtag #involuntarypainting are popping up on other social media sites, including Instagram and Twitter, with hundreds of digital photographs being posted weekly worldwide.
We took a look at the Involuntary Paintings from the past week and selected 24 of our favorites by two-dozen different artists. WM
