Moholy Ground, a magazine about photography based in SF

2010-10-05T17:29:00.000-07:00

Moholy Ground published a 5 page spread on my paintings, including an article that I wrote. The magazine is based on photography, but they wanted to include one painter as well. I wrote the article about the endlessly debated influence of photography on painting, focusing on painting's ability to take photographic vision into it's own processes.

After seeing these photos from the opening, I'm bummed I missed it.

Also, they got a great write-up on Gutter Magazines blog.

This gallery really has a lot to offer and a lot of potential for growth, I look forward to watching their future success.

Exciting news!

The Eleanor Harwood Gallery in San Francisco has offered a show to myself and Bruce Wilhelm to open June 13th of this year.

Eleanor Harwood made her name curating the back gallery at Adobe Books, and has gone on to run one of the best galleries in SF, with artists such as Paul Wackers and James Chronister. This show is a great honor for me and I am truly looking forward to it.

New Show, February 5th Hotel Biron

2009-01-07T14:44:00.001-08:00

Exciting news, I was offered a last minute show at Hotel Biron in San Francisco for February. It's my favorite place to get a glass of fine wines from around the world, and the all brick interior has been home to some great shows of local SF artists.

Collaboration with Bruce Wilhelm Part II

2009-01-07T14:28:00.000-08:00

I got Bruce Wilhelm's paintings in the mail today, and hung them up just in time for Retractions, curated by Whitney Lynn, at Root Division. The work in the show looks great, some video, some digital, some sculpture, and very little painting which makes these stand out well. Bruce finished the two with the dots, all three are collaborative between us both from Philly to San Francisco.

(Bruce is making a new website soon, so check it out later this week.)

WHO is this CCA grad student

2008-12-16T20:45:00.000-08:00

I saw this in the CCA grad studios, and it was one of about 30 great paintings. They all had some humor and some reference to philosophy, and the paint handling ranged from slop to refined. Anyone know who? If you do tell them they have a fan.

My old roommate Bruce Wilhelm and I are collaborating for a show called Retractions in SF that is curated by Whitney Lynn. (The above images are our "source" material for the final version, which I will post upon completion). We are all VCU BFA grads and I'm looking forward to it. Retractions features a global mix of artists of the theme of retraction and will be up at Root Division in January.
