WHAT
CONCRETE PLASTER + ACID WASH FINISH
Imported from Italy, this application is both modern and elegant. Concrete Art is a decorative coating that can obtain surfaces with strong characteristics typical of "fair-face" concrete, while remaining extremely lightweight. In this instance, an acid wash finish was achieved by glazing over the concrete plaster with metallic and and colored hues. This same plaster was use as a base for the mural to create a "fresco" look and was then "carved" into to create the appearance of the plaster chipping away over time.
Various application methods enable the applicator to obtain effects ranging from the uniform minimalist to highly antiqued or worn. This product can be tinted to almost any color in a fan deck for perfect color matching.
