Winnipeg artist, Rand Heidinger chooses acrylic thermoplastic as his medium, he has the choice to display them flat like a traditional painting or use heat to subtly shape them into something that borders on sculpture. He uses automotive paint combined with resins to create an illusion of depth and texture where none exists. The works are displayed on custom built frames that are designed to provide context to the work. Some pieces are flat and very painterly while his shaped works provide a surprisingly more organic feel given the materials used.
