“Wonderful Days” solo exhibition

Opening Reception: Saturday, Feb 20 @ 5pm

Gurú Galería (Mexico City)

This will be my very first trip to Mexico City!  I cannot wait to see everyone and enjoy the heck out of that place.

This exhibition will be a bit more of a retrospective with various selections of prints from sold out runs and paintings from past shows and projects.  However, I will be creating some new work for the show inspired by Mexico City itself and the culture there.  (Some portions of those are pictured below)

I have heard much about Gurú Galería and am very much looking forward to spending some time with them.  So come over if you are anywhere in town at that time!  Would be wonderful to meet you!

Allison Sommers’ “What Passing Bells” at Last Rites Gallery.

Currently on display at Last Rites Gallery in New York City, New York is “What Passing Bells” a brand new solo show by artist Allison Sommers.  The title of the show refers to a poem by Wilfred Owen, as the artist further explains: “‘What Passing Bells’ has been a jumping-off point for many of my works.  The source material I’ve been taking inspiration from, however, should be looked at more like a general companion or a mood scaffolding rather than as a direct conceptual influence.”  The show features a multitude of new paintings and drawings by Allison.

“What Passing Bells” is on display until February 27th, 2016.

The God Wars

In the beginning…

belief and rituals shaped the first gods from the dreams of man.

As the civilizations of man grew, so did the strength and influence of their deities. 

In return for sacrifice, the gods gifted their followers with mystic might.

But the people wanted more than these gifts could provide.

In their souls the people found their own power. They called it “Craft.”

The gods, jealous and afraid,

struck down the firsts of these Craftsmen.

Thus the God Wars began.

But the gods were formed from the faith of man. It was a war they could not win.

And so the Craftsmen took up the mantle of the gods and rule in their stead.
