Ive been thinking alot lately about what to do with all the paintings I have of mine. Since I graduated in 2000, Ive kept most of what Ive painted, only selling smaller paintings here and there.
As a result, I've acquired a small storage space worth of my own work (it seems Im my biggest collector as well), and Im running out of space to store it.....In fact, all the work has taken up an entire wall in the studio and there is still work hanging everywhere on both floors of the annex building (the building where the studio is located).
It's gotten so overcrowded that its beginning to affect my productivity--how can one keep producing more paintings while a decades worth are sitting on the walls and floor all around you?--its almost ominous at times.
So here's a proposed remedy that Nicole and I have come up with: we decided to have an "art liquidation" sale at the annex building this June (Saturday, June 5th to be exact, so mark it on your calendars!). I think we might run with the furniture liquidation/garage sell theme and make the whole event real ciche'and garage sellesque....
The MAIN point is that I would like all my paintings to find happy homes and someone who'd love them....therefore Im selling everything for 30$. Thats right, everything must go and its ALL marked down to 30 bucks--every piece, any size! (phew, this liquidation salesman stuff is pretty catchy).
So if you have always liked a piece but felt you never had the room....blow up a wall in your home and make room, because you cant beat 30 bucks. THIS IS A ONE DAY ONLY EVENT, so mark it on your calendars.
To promote the event, I will post pictures of the paintings and a little back drop story to them for the next month
Heres the first (and admittedly, this is one of my most favorite paintings)......
Its gone by many titles, but the one Ive stuck to recently is "LIONS' TOOTH":
This was one of the first of a series of figure paintings I did for my senior thesis. The paintings involved clothed figures sitting or standing in environments with color panels placed strategically around them. My sister posed for this one, and since I always love a good story, I included pieces of hers in it. The composition and subject matter are largely based off of Edvard Munchs' PUBERTY painting. It stands at 7 and 1/2 feet tall by 4 feet wide....
