The print, a 4" x 36" digital rendering of the San Francisco skyline, is conveniently packaged in a signed paint can. The piece, priced at $29.99 plus shipping and tax, is available at Isn't that Life? gallery at 21 Princess Street in Sausalito, California; online by visiting www.zurbart.com; or by calling 650-533-0469. "When most people refer to 'canned art,' they're thinking along the lines of clip art or stock photography," said Bryan. "ZURB's canned art is completely different. Far from something you'd find on every Internet art site or in the 'prints' section of your local Wal-Mart, it's a unique way to present something of beauty. The print is attractive, and the presentation of it in a paint can makes it easier to give art as a gift.' Bryan's panoramic photo impression of the San Francisco skyline as seen from Sausalito, California, shows a twilight setting, capturing the locale during a time of day when most of its city inhabitants are heading home from a long day at work. "There is magic in that setting, and I wanted to capture an expansive view of San Francisco Bay for people who must rely on their memories or imagination to revive or create that image," commented Bryan. “San Francisco provided a unique opportunity to create a super-panoramic of the beautiful city skyline.” Why put art in a can? "My nature is to question what most others simply accept. I want to challenge the assumption that all canned art is mediocre. Art takes many forms…it doesn't have to be matted and framed in some museum in order to make it valid. By putting my art in a can, completely playing on the phrase 'canned art', I’m creating affordable art in a form factor that makes buying it fun and less stressful." The next Canned Art: San Francisco print to be released will be of row homes in San Francisco. The print will be released in February, 2003.
