Headspace Series (Round 1)

On October 11th through October 14th 2012, Shea/Ziegler invited to be a part of the London based Moniker Art Fair. For the fair I chose to show the first round of my "Headspace Series". The series is about the things I love and the things I'm inspired by. The paintings all feature my bear removing his head, only to reveal something else inside. Examples include characters from Star Wars characters to the artwork from artists I love (in this case, Banksy). I envision the series to expand to over 50 - 60 paintings over the next couple years.

Swab Barcelona

May 26th through May 29th, 2012 Shea Ziegler invited me to contribute a couple paintings to the Swab Art Fair in Barcelona. Being that the show was in spain, I was inspired to create a couple paintings with a bull/minotaur styled character.

 Carne

Acrylic + Ink

10" x 8"

El Toro

Acrylic + Ink

14" x 11"

2012

"El Toro" or "The Bull" is inspired by my impression and understanding of bullfighting. The painting features six banderillas stuck in the bull's back & shoulders, and a matador's sword in it's heart (as is customary in a bullfight). Bullfighting is heated subject, with animal rights activists taking a stand against the sport. Personally, I don't have an opinion for or against it, probably cause I've never witnessed one, but I find the idea visual compelling, and worthy of exploration as a painting.

From September 24th through October 29th, 2011, my painting "Skeleton Study / Gold Bone" will be on display at the Warrington Museum & Art Gallery's "Gossip Well Told" a show in London. Curated by Frankie Shea & Tina Ziegler.
