NSFW Group Show at New Profanity, West Hollywood

I See You I

I See You II

I’m going to have a couple of paintings in the NSFW group show at New Profanity in West Hollywood, opening reception is March 23rd.

These are an expansion on the coaster designs I made a few years ago that were quite popular (see the tondo gallery), I wanted to try something similar at a larger scale.

They are both acrylic on 16” circular wood panels. A bit different to my other current body of work but the theme is still pretty much the same. ha.

The Many Faces of Eros group show at Artemesia Gallery, Denver CO

The Many Faces of Eros : A Group Exhibition

JULY 23rd - OCTOBER 18th
Opening reception on Friday, July 23rd from 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Artmesia Gallery

In this exhibition, Eros represents the human drive toward life itself in expressions of beauty, love, desire, intimacy, and inclusivity. The Many Faces of Eros includes bold colors, textures, and expressions of life blooming in an eclectic compilation of abstract, realist, figurative, and erotic paintings.

In earliest Greek mythology, Eros was a primordial deity with no parentage who was a procreator of all life. Later known as the son of Aphrodite, Eros became the god of sex, desire, love, and affection. His Roman counterpart is Cupid, and the Latin name for Eros is Amor.  In the classical world, erotic love was classified as a kind of divine madness also known as theia mania or crazy wisdom.  Beyond just erotic love, an arrow launched from the bow of Eros was thought to bring an overpowering embrace of life in all its awesome magnitude and vicissitudes.   Eros is defined in modern psychology as the drive toward life and building anew while Thanatos is the counter-drive toward self-destruction, war, and death.  Our Eros exhibition includes bold colors, expressions of life blooming, love and desire, intimacy, and inclusivity beyond the heteronormative stereotypes.

I created a new painting for the Many Faces of Eros group show opening this month at Artemesia Gallery in Denver, CO. I wanted to do something especially vibrant and am very happy with the result! This is my largest painting to date at 20x24” and marks my slow shift towards creating larger scale works.

There will also be a couple of my graphite and charcoal works on view at the show.

I was so happy to be able to attend the Frenzy opening in person! It was my first time visiting New Orleans and I instantly fell in love with it.

The gallery is in such a great spot on the corner, you can see all the art from way back down the street! I got to meet a couple of my favorite artists who were also in the show too.

I’ve really gotten out of the habit of taking a ton of photos but I got the obligatory “me standing next to my pieces” shots! :)

You can view all of my pieces for the show on the Mortal Machine website HERE

BDSM group show at Superchief Gallery LA x The Stockroom

I’m going to be showing several pieces of work at the “BDSM” group art show next month at Superchief Gallery LA.

I’m extra looking forward to this one as it’s presented by The Stockroom, who’s latex clothing brand (Syren) I happened to model for a couple of times back when I was a professional fetish model! I was even on a giant window display in their old store on Sunset Blvd a while back! I do love it when my two worlds of modeling and artwork collide :)

I’ll have 4 of my coaster paintings in the upcoming Annual Coaster Show at Gallery 30th South in Pasadena, CA. This will be my third time showing in this super fun group show, though it will be my first time since it moved to Gallery 30 South from La Luz de Jesus.
