His works, often provocative in nature, feature a raw and exquisite painting style utilizing a hyper realistic form.<\/p>\n<p>Nagel has used several different substrates for his works including panels, plastic, and canvas. Recently the artist discovered Dibond as a potential substrate. Utilizing the material in a small experimental study, he quotes Dibond as the \u201cplastic metal of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We wish the artist much success and hope he continues to expand his use of diverse materials in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: The artist\u2019s work could be seen as risqu\u00e9 to some audiences, viewer discretion is advised.<\/p>\n<p>All images courtesy of \u00a9 Aaron Nagel<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Some surface preparation is required before painting Dibond to remove any surface contaminates such as oils or dust. The substrate should be cleaned with 70% isopropyl alcohol, using a non-colored cloth. It is important not to use paint thinners or soaps as they may leave a film residue, which can affect adhesion.
