Ternary at The Carrack, March 15

Ternary-square

I am pleased to announce I am taking part in a 3 person show in Durham, opening next week at The Carrack Modern Art in Durham.

Ternary: 3 Durham Abstract Painters is a show by three young artists unified in their bold use of color and commitment to working in Durham. Inspired by the Washington Color School, Joe McDonough, Ross Ford and Ryan McKellar wish to reignite a serious conversation about color and abstraction in Durham.  The Carrack is located at 111 West Parrish St, Durham, NC 27701

Join us during the March 15th Third Friday in Durham to meet the artists, see the show and enjoy refreshments.…

New Paintings

Three new paintings to post.  I have been working on these for awhile, about a month I guess. There have been a couple things going on but more on that later.  I will be posting about some new drawings too shortly.  The next pieces will be really big again, but I wanted to get a few small ones done before I got caught up in a big project.  I have sketched a whole book so far in preparation for these next large pieces and these were 3 faces caught my eye but were better suited to this smaller size.  …

3/26/12 New Painting

Hard to believe it’s the end of March and this is the first painting of 2012, Number 423.  I have been focused on the prints since January so I haven’t spent much time actually painting.  It’s been a lot of fun but I needed to paint.  I am still planning a giant painting on this roll of canvas I have.The plan has been to go very heavily multilinear on that since I will have space to put a lot of lines.…

Variations in Registration and Color

My recent multi-linear paintings have all overlaid intersecting lines to create specific figures.  These have all been specific choices and also immediately whole; meaning that I draw the figure all at once and specifically choose which lines overlay when painting.  The recent series of prints have involved multiple separate whole figures overlaid to mimic the multi-linear effect of the paintings.

I say these are immediately whole because the drawings are done all at once in one continuous motion, and the overlay is chosen after, when I am painting.…

New Prints for 2012

So after the great reception I got for the Number 24 Prints in November, I resolved to make more prints in the new year.  Specifically new prints, not just reprints of my older work, although I probably will do a few of those too.  I originally had this plan to do crazy complex designs from a very complicated drawing, but the drawing fluid does not handle like paint and I found that the results were not optimal.  So I chose to paint new designs directly onto the screens and experiment with overlays, similar to my recent multi-linear paintings. …

My wall for the 12×12 exhibit at Golden Belt

Here are the 4 pieces I completed for the 12×12 exhibit at Golden Belt:

All of the work for this show had to be 12×12 inches.  I do not normally work in a square aspect so I had to get a little creative.  My first inclination was to do square drawings as these pieces are easy to adapt to different sizes.  My paintings tend to be rectangular in shape and 12 inches is smaller than most paintings I have done.…
