If you like the artwork you see on the cover of this week's Eugene Weekly (8/7/08), then you might be interested to see it created using time-lapse photography. The painting's creator, Steven Lopez (whom I profile in this week's issue), paints these images of R&B and soul singers as part of his After Midnight series of paintings. Lopez says he paints these in the pre-dawn hours (hence: after midnight) all in one go. This allows him to set up his video camera and take the time-lapse videos you can watch below, all of which are set to music by the artists he paints. Watch more videos and see other examples of Lopez's work at his website/blog, I Keep Moving. And be sure to check out his solo exhibition at the Fenario Gallery, opening on Sept. 5 and running through Sept. 28.
