Drunk Series

Nov. 18th at The Happening Gallery in Marina Del Rey, I'm displaying my "Drunk" series of 3-D paintings. This series was inspired from a Biology book that I never used in college. Ever since then, my abstract work has been very circular and "cell" like. They were described by the curator Jason Canning as "whimsical". For me personally, when I create these pieces, I start off with a shape... and continue until I'm literally crossed eyed from all the movement and color I've applied to the once blank canvas.

I can paint for hours, and once I'm focused its really hard to pull myself away and stop for the evening. I'll paint until the weeeeee hours of the morning (for example I went to bed this morning at 3 am; only to get up again at 6:45). With my lack of sleep (as well as being overly saturated on bad coffee) I become so delirious -----> I can't see straight. I feel "intoxicated" with ideas, and emotion... And all I can think about is painting some more. Stupid?

These paintings are also special because they are 3 dimensional. When looking through glasses, the layers of scrubbed shapes come alive. It's highly entertaining.

If you get a moment, check it out this month until December 4th.
