Here we go with something I really love and can’t get enough of it….The Motion Paintings by The Barnstormers

In this one David Ellis and some of the greatest artists around got together to write a letter to the President….

A Letter to the President (2003). Motion painting by the Barnstormers.

Artists: 

The Barnstormers are a collective of New York/Tokyo-based artists who create large-scale collaborative paintings, films and performances. The group formed in 1999 after a pilgrimage to the rural town of Cameron, North Carolina. During the trip, twenty-five artists painted dozens of barns, tractor-trailers, shacks and farm equipment. Consequently, the tiny tobacco farming community became the unlikely Mecca for the urban collective. To this day, the Barnstormers continue to interpret and communicate the visual, cultural, and spiritual awakenings inspired by their trips to the south.

The Barnstormers continue to experiment and collaborate, both domestically and internationally, with yearly returns to Cameron to paint new murals.
