In Painting McCartney, Maggie Barnes artistically explores the human drive to capture the ephemeral. Drawing upon Paul McCartney’s other-than-Beatles music, she renders one painting per song from each album. For each of these series she also creates a larger work, inspired by the place where the music was created and representing that album as a whole.
Ultimately, this project will serve as a visual translation of Paul McCartney's catalog of music - and a way to wrap your brain around his 750+ (and ever-expanding number of!) songs. |
