New Works, New Themes

Just posted a bunch of new images in my gallery, before to give it a look and let me know what you think! All works have been completed with the last 4 or so months. So the next SNAC show is going to be a series of diptychs dealing with duality. It should be interesting to see what everyone comes up with. My idea is probably going to be around villany and virtue or vices and virtues. Thoughts?

On and a side note, here's a shot from a painting in progress. Lately I've been working on wood instead of canvas. I've gotta say, I like constructing these wood panels far more than I enjoy stretching a canvas. This piece is 24 x 96 all in acrylic. Been working on it for a couple of days now, should be interesting to see where it goes from here. Keep posted for more progress pics!

Work of Art

So I just finished watching this week's Work of Art on Bravo. As much as I despise reality TV, I cant help but to be sucked into this show! Next week is the finale, cant wait to watch! I'm routing for Abdi. That kid has some serious talent.

The challenges they've been posed with have been quite interesting. I constantly find myself asking, "What would I create if I were in their shoes" most of time the time, the answer is "I'd be screwed!" haha I've gotta give it up for them, there are some seriously talented young artists on this show.

Gallery X Public Hanging XXI

Saturday August 7, come by for the 21st Annual Public Hanging at Gallery X, New Bedford MA. The opening reception will be from 7p-10p. Come by and see one of the several new pieces I've been working on, along with tons of other work from very talented local artists. For more info check out http://www.galleryx.org/



So it's been a while since I've posted. The new series is coming along fantastic. New images will be up soon, so keep posted. Thus far, 5 pieces from the new series have been completed with 3 more in various stages of finish. Hoping to have a 6th completed by the weekend. I've been working on wood panel as opposed to canvas lately which has been a nice change. Stay posted, progress pics up soon!

New Work Started

As promised, here are some pics from the new body of work I'm currently diving into. Only 2 photos, but hey, its a start! Got 6 new canvases primed and ready to go, hopefully more to come soon!

24 Hour Art Lock In

SNAC members Sean Brady and Scott Francoeur will be participating in Bridgewater Art and Frame's 1st Art Lock In.
From 5pm on Friday, June 11 until 5pm on Saturday June 12 several artists will be locked into a building with nothing but the supplies they come with and see what insanity ensues!

Reception is open to the public, wine, music and refreshments provided.
50 Central Square, Bridgewater, MA 02324

Come support this creative endeavor!

New Series Started

I recently started a new series of work that I'm excited to dive into. I wouldn't say my NOLA series is finished, just on hiatus for now.

Been experimenting with a new color pallette, trying a few new techniques. So far I'm pleased with the progress. I've got 3 new paintings started, hopefully will have some pictures up soon.

The new series of work (yet to be named) will probably have 2 very different palettes. One palette will be very warm with a lot of reds/browns/oranges while the other will be very cold with a lot of blues and whites. Can't wait to get some finished pieces up on here!

The new body is going to revolve around this Russian folk tale that I've been near obsessing over for the past few months. It's a tale about a parapelegic boy who longs to walk again and dapples in astral projection. Its nuts! There's also a sub-plot with Rasputin and how his destiny is intertwined with the boy.

Not the typical subject matter I tackle, but I think it'll be a refreshing break for me. I'm going to try and post some in progress pics soon!

I'm working on some new upcoming shows. Stay posted for details!

1st Annual Bridgewater Art Walk

Coming up May 8th, Bridgewater Art and Frame will be sponsoring the 1st Annual Bridgewater Art Walk. There will be upwards of 15 artists in various mediums working outside (weather permitting). Come by and hang out! Several members of the SNAC group will be doing live demos. There's going to be tons of activities and great art to see. Everyone will be setting up in the center of Bridgwater from 9am to 12pm. For more information contact Candace at Bridgewater Art and Frame 508-279-0707, 50 Central Square Bridgewater, MA 02324.

The opening reception will be Friday, April 17 from 7 - 9 pm. Please come by and check it out, there's going to be a lot of excellent work from some very talented artists.
