I'm in a group show that opens tomorrow evening at Like the Spice Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. I'll be showing my two newest works which you can see here: [link] and here: [link] If you are in the NYC area you should certainly come down to see these works in person as it might be the last time they are shown for quite some time to come...

Here is the Press Release for the show:

Marked: A Show Of Figure
Includes Alison Bickle, Dean Goelz, Brendan Lott, Jenny Morgan, Reuben Negron, and Robin Williams, six artists use the figure to reflect personal narratives of their own design.

It is little wonder that interpretations of the figure have been and continue to be so admired. After all, the figure is perhaps the most archaic and explored of all styles of art. Yet, even today, our cultural mastery of the figure can be redefined, reinvested, and reinvigorated by emerging artists. In the works exhibited at Like the Spice during Marked, six artists use the figure to reflect personal narratives of their own design.

The body contains history, living stories written in time. Every moment leaves its mark; every mark takes its moment. What comes from this is a mix of independent narratives, or perhaps a collection of fictions built from facts. The use of the figure, such a traditional idea, opens the door for many untraditional explorations. Instead of what is, our artists have chosen to paint what they think we should see, and in so doing opened our eyes to a new type of story; one we might never have been able to find alone.
