Beginning the month of December in a fitting way I am part of a group show at the Flatcolor Gallery which is themed on artist’s interpretation of the coming year 2010. This show is a smattering of killer artists from the Pacific NW and down the West Coast. To say the least it is gonna be a hell of a show that is provocative in the nature of what is to come in the soon to be turn of a decade.
My piece for the show is a character based oil painting titled “Rubix Dude”. The dude is my communal ode to our ubiquitous nature of being creatures of habit. 2010 will be a year filled once again with our habits, rituals, comforts, and supreme piety of being. The idea that no matter what the future holds we will all still be in the throws of our daily routines and perpetually playing the “game” of life is one that is consistent in conserving our balance within an utterly chaotic world of perpetual change. We are here as ghosts already sitting in a wasteland of habits, consolation, and maintaining our virtues as individuals in a very congealed world of mass ideas and invocations. Our connections to the ethereal plane of subconsciousness is uprooted by our lackadaisical distractions brought about by technology and collective social destruction. “Tempest Rituals of Virtuous Decadence”…reads the stars.
The exhibition will run from December 3rd, 2009 through January 2nd 2010. Head down to Pioneer Square / Downtown Seattle to see this amazing exhibition.
