These are pics from last month at the opening to my show Frantic Psycho Sugar Pop! The closing is Thursday August 29th 5-9pm Where: @beeftrustkitchenandbar Beef Trust Kitchen & Bar (formerly Amazing Grapes) in Pompton Lakes. If you didn’t get a chance to make it to the opening, the show will be up for one more week (as of today August 22). My artist’s statement for the show: Back in the late 80s and into 90’s I used to make mixed cassettes for myself and friends. I would spend hours carefully choosing out the songs by planning where they would fall in the playlist. After the mix was recorded I would spend just as much time creating the cover artwork and coming up with a fake title for it. Enter this century and things got a lot easier with ability to move tracks around digitally. These digital paintings, inspired by music and lyrics, are a reversion to those hands on days but developed with new tools. Using a combination of traditional tools such as paint, pencil, ink, as well as photos I’ve taken and found, I mix these together to create a cover for a fake mix tape. This is Frantic Psycho Sugar Pop! Beef Trust in Pompton Lakes located at 23 Wanaque Ave, Pompton Lakes, NJ.
