PATCHWORK Group Show this Weekend, coinciding with Glasgow International

 


CENTER FOR 21ST CENTURY STUDIES is hosting a group exhibition of visual artists from the Glasgow School of Art MFA program.  The exhibition is titled PATCHWORK. The theme is in relation to this term because of its implication of multiple registers, fragmentary viewing, or multiple materials cobbled together to form an impurity of surface.  The show will include works of painting and drawing.

Artists: Hyojun Hyun, AlexanderOleksyn, Benjamin Rankin, Brent Ridge

Knuckle Sandwich

































This baby is finally done.  I've spent one whole term plus my break finishing this (plus other similarly sized paintings).  This work has taken probably more turns than any painting of mine that I can recall.  There has been wholesale revisions of it as a work, and that essence of its journey has been translated into its final image.  I like that its a beat-up thing, its just a touch rocky, ya know?  Rest in peace you bastard!

Sneak Peek















That's a biggie almost done.  55 x 55 inches of paint plus stuff.
A touch of spray paint here and there was added after this picture
was taken, so this is a "in process" doc shot for my audience.
I'm out.  I've got a lot more to make at this point.
