The #BassBoomProject

Uncategorized

In June 2014 over Father’s Day weekend I participated along other Artist Members of ConArtist Collective in the Paterson Art Walk.

All of us were given choice in the selection of pieces to show. Since the Paterson Art Factory is made up of many buildings and is an old mill converted into art studios, the square footage is huge…I mean, the dreamy kind of large any artist could wish for! If ever you have the opportunity, visiting the Art Factory will prove an adventure in itself.
The one piece I really wanted to stand out is a Subwoofer I’d painted on all four sides and the top. It’s been in the family for quite awhile and is still kicking out a mean bass! That little sound box was originally part of a gaming system my nephews and niece first owned and shared with my children whenever they got down to battle in digital mode. The title and theme I used for promotional aspects is: “The #BassBoom Project.” I use the hashtag here as it can be found across many web platforms within social media.

Managing An Artistic Challenge

Uncategorized

Recently, I was personally challenged in artistic capabilities by having preset limits on a themed exhibition. I rather enjoy having a theme to go by, whether for exhibition, juried competitions or other forms of participation. This particular event was named: “Decorate, Embellish, Adorn” and Curated by Artist Member, Aprajita Anand…an amazing Artist and super sweet individual herself!

The event was presented at ConArtist Gallery, of which I am a Member Artist since February 2014. Its requirements included:

specific size of 12″ x 12″
in black and white only
should reflect or express what you are passionate about

Seems easy enough, right? It was the exclusive use of Black and White for its color theme, which presented a challenge for me. Yes, they truly are colors! At first I thought: “How hard can this be? After all, I LOVE to draw using black on white with almost any medium!” Then it hit me…I wanted to attempt the project in Acrylics, using my own style of drawing-without erasing. All in all, it was my own self-imposed challenge, since I’d never accomplished it in the Acrylic medium. Yet, I’m proud to have overcome the ‘chronic eraser syndrome’ very long ago. Turns out, I enjoyed every moment creating my piece, entitled “Rapture – Wrap Sure.” My reflection on what I am passionate about is simply LOVE. You see, I strongly believe in Love of all kinds and that with Love we can accomplish anything GOOD we desire. It is in fact (to me), the key to LIFE.

I do hope you enjoy the image of “Rapture – Wrap Sure.” Up until now, it continues to gain in popularity as one of my most viewed and enjoyed pieces of original artwork across all of my social media networks. The original is available for purchase by contacting me here, or in selected prints here.

First exhibited in “Decorate, Embellish, Adorn,” at ConArtist Gallery, NYC

Until next time, I wish you PEACE and LOVE 🙂

Making Changes and Moving Forward

Addendum: Today I added the finished piece “Just PolyTicks” to this post, since I hadn’t previously. It is set as the featured image. I know it isn’t my best capture, yet I wanted to include it until I get a better one. Enjoy and thanks again for visiting!

Today I am adding WIPs of recent work and will continue building up this site until I have it in a viewer friendly format. Here you will find details on the most current Exhibition I have participated in.

I wish you all will enjoy the posts, including images, exhibitions, events and other nuances.

Today’s topic is my recent collaborative exhibition with fellow Artist Members at ConArtist Collective/ Gallery/ Storefront space. It is also an uplifting center where Artists can work and store their creations, among other things. Please visit www.conartistnyc.com for more information and current Exhibitions and Events.

The name of the Exhibition is “Just Politics,” a collaborative effort between 11 Member Artists. follow #JustPolitics across the web. It is available for viewing through September 13, 2014 at ConArtist Gallery. be sure to visit for the up close and personal viewiing of its entirety, before I post my piece here on the blog.

Here are some of the WIPs I captured during creation of my piece titled: “Just PolyTicks,” a play on words for this polemic subject matter:
