Show Next Weekend

2011-09-11T07:42:00.000-07:00

If you're in the Brooklyn area next weekend I have some recent work showing at the Gowanus Ballroom. It'd be great to see you if you can make it :)

Paint Works @ GOWANUS BALLROOM

Gowanus Ballroom invites you to Paint Works, a group exhibition showcasing emerging and established painters in and around Brooklyn. The premise is pretty straightforward: there is a host of painters in our nearby environs, doing what they do and doing it really well. Paint Works is bringing that energy, those skills, and that vibe together in a show focused solely on contemporary painting.

Featured artists have expanded the traditional building blocks of painting and evolved them in varied and relevant directions--essentially taking the practice and pushing it in places it hasn't gone before. The works run the gamut from realism to abstraction, and are sometimes a surreal blend of both. The paintings explore dreamy, symbolic spaces; the body politic and self-reflection; and subversive carnal fantasies. Personal narratives are represented as well as more traditional themes relating to classical ideals.

Gowanus Ballroom is a vast alternative art space that gives the impression of a gritty cathedral, with 50-foot ceilings and more than 16,000 square feet of floor space. The artists, sculptors, performers, poets, and musicians who come together in this collaborative, underground community foster a shared commitment to artistic expression and exploration, whatever form it takes.

Past shows at Gowanus Ballroom have been extravaganzas with performances, art installations, live bands, and tons of artwork adorning the walls. Paint Works continues the tradition with a warehouse full of paintings, daily entertainment including local indie bands, keyed-up acrobatic performances, live group painting demonstrations, and more.

Doors open for the opening reception of Paint Works at 6pm on Friday, September 16, 2011.

Here are a set of illustrations I did for the talented Andrew Auseon an author friend of mine to use on his updated website. Make sure to check out his books in addition to keeping an eye out for the multitude of other projects he's got going on. I don't consider him the hardest working man in show business for nothing :p

Finally hopped on board with the blog thing so here goes nothing...

This is a digital sketch from the sketch nights we used to do at Big Huge Games. It turned into a double portrait of Colin and Jay. I remember painting SAM in there too but I can't find him in the image anymore :P
