Giganticism at Silas Marder Gallery

Mount K, 10" x 10"

I made frames today for four paintings from the Mount series. They will be in the upcoming "Giganticism" show at Silas Marder Gallery, 120 Snake Hollow Rd., Bridgehampton, NY. This gallery occupies a huge barn within the Marder nursery on Long Island. In addition to the main gallery, Silas has 'shed shows' and in summer, on Fridays, shows films on the hay wall.

If anyone out east can make it, the opening is this Saturday, July 11.

The Gallery - Shelbyville

I am July's featured artist at my uncle's gallery in Shelbyville, IN. It is a local cooperative, called "The Gallery" and is located just south of the downtown circle.

New Paintings for July show

8" x 8" each

In July, I'll be the featured artist at my uncle's gallery in Shelbyville, IN. While it shows all sorts of styles, it is a traditional gallery in intent. I think these new paintings, the doodle-creatures on metallic ground, will adapt well to the environment. I like that they can work in that setting and also at a contemporary gallery. I have seven now, and will show 8-10. I have a 10 foot span of wall, which is side-lit during the day. The rest of the gallery is hung salon-style.

I believe these are from 2000. I hadn't been painting and just wanted a straightforward representational project. In real life, these are more pedestrian than they appear here; they really do not have any quiet magic at all. I would love to explore this particular visual universe further. I'd love to really focus on slow-grinding Morandi-type still lifes, but I'd also love to do fast and facile wet-into-wet again, yet I want to toy with awkward formalities. I want to paint plein-aire landscapes, I want to make multi-layered dioramas in those cylindrical CD holders (the first will show scenes from Nick Cave's "the Murder Ballads")...

Update: I've corrected to their actual size, though they are cropped here.
