June Show

If you're in the Seattle area, stop by the Sunset next month and see my good friend Phill's and my artwork. You may have seen much of my stuff here on the blog, but the real thing is so much better. Phill's epic paintings are not to be missed either.

Juan de la Cruz

This is the final version of the Cruzob project that I'd been working on last year. It's been finished for a while but I just got it matted and framed so that its ready to hang in the show next month.
In the end it's not what I had expected, but it turned out nicely.

Bustos at Mexic-Arte

While I was in Austin, Texas this last week I went to a couple of art museums including the Blanton at UT where they had a large display of paintings from the Hudson River school of romantic lanscapes. Still, while these were interesting and well composed, the more interesting stuff was to be seen (for less money) at the Mexic-Arte Museum just a few blocks away. The primary exhibit was a collection of linocut prints by Mexican artist Arturo Garcia Bustos. Bustos was a student under Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera where he studied painting, but his better known works seem to consist of these prints. When the museum opened in 1983, Bustos donated some of his prints, and these, as well as a number of prints on loan from Mexico are on display through July 18th, 2012. What impressed me most about his work was his strong sense of composition which, despite 'busy', detailed and highly political pieces like these here is very distinct. The one above in particular really impressed me.

Unfortunately there are also very few images of his work that are of a resolution worth posting here. If I had known there was so little to be found, I would have taken more pictures with my cellphone. I've searched for books of the artists work and have found a few in Spanish, but they're quite expensive and I'm hesitant to spend too much sight unseen. Bustos art is amazing and really deserves to be seen by more people.

Man and Brother

10" x 10"

pen, watercolor and gouache on board

$250

(this piece will be hanging through August, 2012)

The abolition movement, begun in England had a medallion image printed in the late 1870's which pictured a shackled slave and read "Am I Not a Man and Brother?"

Mr. T stated that his chains were a "symbol of his people brought from Africa as slaves," and that he had "turned his chains into gold to show that I had gone from rags to riches, from welfare to faring well."

Watercolor Portraits

 I've been trying to practice working quickly with watercolors so that I can become good enough to do these on the fly. Getting there, slowly.
