I’m loving the organic calligraphy of Jose Parla

The flow of lines within the calligraphic pieces of cuban artist Jose Parla remind me of the organic flow of fluids. I’m impressed with his mastery of form and flow and the scale of his billboard pieces. Definitely go check out his work…

“Past Present Future”
Art Opening, Thursday August 22nd, 8:30pm
Small World Gallery, 2120 Commercial Drive, Vancouver BC

I’m pleased to be sharing my art once again at Small World Gallery. The show features all new work, exploring both my flowformed painting style and my baroquenheart remixes of old masters paintings. Opening night I’ll also be bringing down my automatic divine reflection generator which I’ve rigged to save images of the evening. Come on down and be immortalized with your very own divine reflection.

If you can’t make it down opening night the show runs from now until September 15th.

An oldie but a goodie…

This is one of my favourites that I rediscovered recently…

I love the worlds that exist within certain pieces. How the brain can just take an abstract organic flow of paint and create a reality. It never ceases to amaze…

Zdzislaw Beksinski

My roomate just turned me on to the unbelievable works of Zdzislaw Beksinski. While a lot of his work is darker than my usual tastes, his mastery of texture is unparalleled, and I’m particularly drawn to his tidal pieces.

The tragic circumstances regarding his death a few years ago are quite bizarre and sad. Particularly in light of the fact that at 75 he was still actively creating art and had begun to explore digital work.

Ted Zourntos

It’s always inspiring to find such a successful artist creating what I’ve come to term ‘process based’ works. I’m really enchanted by Ted Zourntos’ style and the compositions he is able to create. I find myself wishing I was in Toronto so that I could take a class or two with him.

He’s got an upcoming show at the Sloan Fine Art Gallery in new york. If you’re in the area definitely go check it out.

Thanks once again to Kirsten Anderson over at Right some Good for the introduction to yet another amazing artist.

The evolution…

I love playing around with colour schemes; every once in a while I really hit upon a new set of colours that just work. The fiery internal glow of this set is one of my favourites, and i’ve posted five new images in the gallery for you to check out.

Darren Waterston’s work

even — Fri, 30 May 2008 23:27:32 +0000

Like many others I’m sure, I find Darren Waterston’s work incredibly evocative and inspiring. The masterful fusion of organic flow and impeccable detail is stunning. Definitely looking forward to an opportunity to view these works in person…

Thanks to Kirsten Anderson over at Right some Good for the introduction to this amazing artist and so many others.

Through another’s eyes…

even — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 19:26:45 +0000

I had the opportunity to paint again last weekend, hunched in the garage over my paint and tiles as the sun shone down outside. It’s a funny association, but when the sun is shining I feel the call to paint. I’m sure it’s a remnant of when I didn’t have proper lights and relied on sunny days off to get the proper lighting I need.

Based on a conversation I had with my love about what she’s looking for in a piece, I revised my approach, particularly in how I ‘framed’ these images, trying to create a sense of object or depth within the flow.

I’m quite happy with the results, and it’s opened up my mind in terms of input from other sources, so I’m going to pose the question: Which pieces are you attracted to and why?

Launching my new site…

even — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 00:07:30 +0000

This site has been in my mind for quite some time, but only recently have I come across the tools that I needed to make it happen. I’m really excited by the new gallery, and I’m hoping that people like the new form and format.

A number of people in the past have expressed interest in the painting style that I’ve used in my divine reflections. I’m happy to finally be able to focus on the raw paintings and present them as their own body of work. I’ve been deepening my relationship with the pure painting, and I’m looking forward to further explorations, so stay tuned for more pieces in the near future.

In the meantime, head on over to the gallery and let me know what you think…
