ACCOLADE  2010

Enamel Paint, Aerosol Paint, & Ink on Stone

As seen on  Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club, Season  5, 2010

Curves and formations, the softness of the skin, even on hard and challenging surfaces , the finer lines of the human body show depth. On stone, which is porous, elements  absorb into the source, almost bleeding into it . But even with all these curves and all this beauty, it still remains flat, texture less, and shallow, with evidence of vanity.

WATERCOLOR PAINT,ACRYLIC PAINT, WOOD STAIN, AEROSOL PAINT ON WOOD PLANKS

 

I  pose a question, to better understand why human beings must suffer to advance.  Why is a scream sometimes for happiness or triumph? Why is a scream sometimes for pain and suffering? Do these two emotions have a connection or is this just  random.  We all come to a time where suffer plays a dramatic part in who we become and which direction we may travel…..

5G: @ BSO PALS

 

 

 

 

Thanks Luz Pla Angel for the Invite me to produce a piece for the BSO PAL clubhouse. I wanted to do something that focused on kids and also kept the urban vibe they were going for with the DJ section of the club. What a great space where kids can come an learn how to DJ in a safe clean environment. I also wanted to incorporate my G in the piece, so I laid out a bunch of stencil I cut of children, and had her pick and place them at will. The collage is a bit choppy, but its all G so that makes it perfect. I would say pretty good for her first painting placements, and my first 5G work. Maybe sometime i the future I will get to see her creativity shine brighter.....5.....

REBIRTH/ BUFF 2006

ACRYLIC PAINT & PRIMER ON CANVAS

When events happen and thing seem there dimmest , the human being has the ability to transform their lives simply by starting over.  Chaos and turmoil can be structured by the idea of rebirth or starting again. We see this as failure sometime but the truth is second changes are growth…..

CURRENCY, 2009

 

CURRENCY  2009

CONCRETE PATCH, ACRYLIC PAINT, ON CANVAS BOARD

 

The cities we build, the concrete jungle. What are these urban setting for? Currency, the monetary used in these cities for needs.  What needs do we really need this currency for? Or is it a way to segregate us into classes based on the currency we hold.  Well if this currency fails then what will we do as a culture…..remember the Romans…..

4LBS BAG, 2010

 

RECLAIMED BROWN BAGS, LASER TONER,  & WHEATPASTE  ON WOOD PANEL

 

1000’s of songs have been written about it. That lovely comfort at the bottom of the bottle. That brown bag treat that makes so many Americans able to wake up in the morning. Is it a battle with in that keeps us coming back or something lesser. Is there a common medium or by the time your find it your body is  already to damaged. Deeper and deeper as we try to modify to our ever growing old self…...

 

 

 



Descent 2010

   DESCENT,  2010

Aerosol, acrylic, wood stain, & found objects on wood assemblage

In our culture good and evil or seen as polar opposites, enemies, the villain and the hero, but in truth good and evil are closer then thought and have very little divisions. One might even venture to say good and evil has different lines for almost every human being.  I pose a question, If by outpouring good one cause war, wouldn’t that introduce evil into the design?????

I utilize found object as symbols is contribute to the concept I'm trying to define. In this case a lock set to symbolize how we are made to lock "evil" away, swipe it under the rugs, or worse project it back on to others.

 





 

Here I utilize the same aspect in reverse by added a faucet to the angel to symbolize how evrything "good" can flow freely, even if it's all an illusion.

 

Good and evil are politics one is not better than the other, they are just two states of mind with different public options. At what point due we as humans understand everyone is entitled to what they find as life. No matter if it's positive or negative, right or wrong. These are the building of man, only cowards make statements to stop other progression.....5.....

 



My Muse: a collection of admiration for my wife.

It take a strong and patience woman to deal with the ever changing emotional baggage I call my life. I must admit my faults and defects make me unapproachable and sometime empty, yet she stands next to me and fights. She is the true statment of marriage, work, progression, and love. As an artist there is a way above and beyond anything anyone else can produce that I can. And that is my art, my concepts and emotions on surfaces for all to see and critic. Yes I can buy flowers, or dinner but this will last longer and bolder and maybe even be eternal, as we are after we took our vow......

  

 She is perfect and real like nothing else. She is strong and bold, that sometime makes me angry and other times proud. She is individual, unique, beautiful and most of all mine.....

This collaboration work with 213AOE , is a conceptual acknowledgment of the Art of Exaggeration and the unbalance it has produced in history.

Weather positive or negative the outcome of such a trend , it’s here and ever evolving growing more extreme and exaggerated as time permits …..
