Hunting Prize Finals

I am truly honored to have one of my paintings (pictured below) chosen for the finals toward the Hunting Prize 2010. Last year Kim Cadmus Owens and David Dreyer were a couple of the Dallas finalists. What wonderful company to be among.

My uncle and employer since 1998, David H. Gibson offered a print for part of Christmas present this year. I chose one from his, in my humble opinion, under-appreciated David McManaway's Studio series. I am really excited to see it framed and on the wall of my loft. I have only had the opportunity to visit David McManaway's studio a hand full of times, but it was always quite an amazing thing to experience the collection in person.

I can't remember where I ran across Kristen Everberg's work originally, but I love limited palette, subject matter and style. She has worked with images of the case study homes and other historic images. The painting below was taken from Andrei Tarkovski's film Ivan's Childhood. It is a still in a montage of what appears to be stock footage of abandoned and ruined spaces toward the end of the movie. My personal favorite of Tarkovski's work is Andrei Rublev. That movie haunts me.

Four Thieves Vinegar Print

The Legend of Four Thieves Vinegar In the midst of the bubonic plague, four thieves secured their freedom from captivity by divulging a preventive homeopathic concoction rumored to ward off the disease. Herbs, garlic and vinegar were rendered into a solution that was to be applied to cotton wraps covering the body and face. Whether a clever con on a desperate people or a true prevention against the plague, the mixture was a ray of hope in a fearful time.

The print is made with archival pigment inks on Stonehenge drawing paper. It is signed by the artist, dated and numbered in an edition of 15. The print measures 16 x 20 inches.



















Motion to Proceed Print

Expo 2010

Two of my paintings were selected for this year's 500X Gallery annual juried show. I have included small reproductions below, but there's nothing like seeing the real thing. With that in mind the 500X opening is this Saturday night, January 16 from 7-10 PM.

The Expo 2010 jurors were husband and wife team Richard Patterson and Christina Rees. Christina Rees is currently the Curator of Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, TCU and once ran Road Agent Gallery in Dallas. I was a big fan of Road Agent. Richard Patterson is a lauded British artist with an impressive CV that includes the legendary Freeze show curated by Damien Hurst.
