Tommy Mitchell never shot a brick… . The journey of an Artist is often quiet, meditative & in complete solitude… But it is in those moments the “chaos” is discovered, the maddening rush of a spark, an idea and the next chess move is the execution… . @TommyMitche11’s execution is succinct, his detail is finite and the end result has a smoldering effect… And it captivates you… . Don’t miss these & other works of deliberateness from Tommy’s debut with Band of Vices… Now on view in our gallery annex ’til the 22nd of February 2020… If would like a catalogue of his works, send us an email to [email protected]… . #TommyMitchell #NeverShotABrick #TommyMitche11 #BaltimoreArtist #Contemporary #BallpointPen #BMA #NationalPortraitGallery #MyBicMoment #BandofVices (at Band of Vices) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8UhimdFwDT/?igshid=r1cliz7lgq40

It’s going down this Saturday the 25th, 5-8pm… . Don’t miss Tommy Mitchell’s compelling works in our gallery annex. . Tommy Mitchell was born in 1983 in Biloxi Mississippi. Relocating to Virginia in the late 80s, Tommy would draw a myriad of things from magazine covers to basketball cards. Out of high school, he began working numerous retail jobs before coming back to his calling in the arts. Tommy’s choice of ballpoint pen comes from friendly competition with a classmate. Whereas the classmate had mentioned that her grandmother used ballpoint pen to minimize her mistakes, Mitchell followed suit. Self taught, Tommy studied tattoo artists for their attention to detail and execution with ink. Tommy now lives and works in Baltimore. . For a catalogue, drop us an email to [email protected]. . @TommyMitche11 #TommyMitchell #NeverShotABrick #NeverNotWorking #BicYourDay #TommyMitche11Art #BandofVices #WAVES (at Band of Vices) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rbT3vFSbK/?igshid=1m410ao8mfanq

This is another one of Baltimore’s finest, @TommyMitche11… . Tommy’s debut with BoV will coincide with Shantell Martin’s WAVES solo exhibition & installation. . Working in portraiture, Tommy employs ballpoint pen to create realism, juxtaposed with acrylic paint and mixed media to compliment the detail in his subjects. The subjects depict emotions of longing, solidarity and reflection as they serve as icons in the works. Mitchell references fashion photography, along with religious elements to achieve an empowering representation of women of color in attempt to complicate the notions of ideal beauty. . Don’t miss & Introducing Tommy Mitchell, in our gallery annex. . Opening & Artists Reception, Saturday the 25th of January 2020… .
