Falcon 900
Andrew Antonaccio’s Falcon 900 project applies blue and white artwork to the fuselage, engines and tail of an aircraft. The portfolio brings together photographs of the completed plane, images of the painting process in a hangar and videos showing both the aircraft and a scale model. These records allow the work to be viewed as a complete object and as a sequence of individual painted surfaces.
An aircraft presents a different setting from a wall or building. Curved forms, separate components and changing viewpoints shape how a composition is read. In the Falcon photographs, the linear artwork continues across the body and around the rear of the plane. Close views make the painted pattern visible, while the overhead photograph helps establish its relationship to the overall form. The scale-model video provides another way to look at that arrangement.
The sequence includes a time-lapse of the painting process, a view of the finished aircraft and a scale model. Each record offers a different sense of the composition, from the work of applying paint to its appearance across the completed form.
Within Andrew’s practice, the Falcon 900 demonstrates a visual language moving beyond a conventional mural surface. It can be considered alongside architectural relief, large-scale portraits and installations without treating those different forms as interchangeable. To discuss a commission, share the proposed object or surface, its location and the intended scope. The studio contact section is the starting point for that conversation.
