Hash, by Jake Beckman


Hash
Hash is a whimsical acrylic painting in the Binary Birds series by Jake Beckman. It is 6 x 8 inches on archival canvas board. Hash is a separable piece of a large whole representative of a cell phone key pad. The number symbol is painted in interference blue paint giving it a little bling, and 2 canaries sit atop the vertical ends of the pound sign. The background is abstract airy abstract reminiscent of puffy clouds in shades of blue and white with just a touch of violet. The predominant colors are shades blue, white and yellow. In keeping with the Binary Birds social media theme the painting features ASCII Binary which represents, Hash, and #.

Binary Birds
, by Jake Beckman - art that proudly projects you are member of the Social Media Tribe. On a cell phone, the pound key usually completes a string of numbers meaning you have finished. Three hashes signify the end of a press release. In Twitter, the hash tag allows you to categorize your tweet, as in #art, to make it easier for others to find you. So take your pick, does is represent completion to you, or "Look at me!" or both?

If you would like to see more detail about the art or perhaps buy it, please see its page on Jake's website.

"Currently I create acrylic paintings in various sizes based of Birds and ASCII Binary based on light-hearted observations of Social Media and Pop Culture. Come Experience the Art!"
