My next show Oh, Dystopia opens August 24th, from 6-10pm at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles. The response to this show has really been amazing and I want to thank everyone who has reached out, left a comment, hit that heart button, or - especially - bought a piece from the show. It really means a lot to me.
This show is not exactly a greatest hits compilation, but I’ve returned to some of the subjects nearest and dearest to my heart. Sweeping, beautiful dystopian landscapes, crumbling skyscrapers, occasional fast food references, the lost promise of science fiction and technology, the hubris inherent in all of us to think that what we have built will last forever. And yet. And yet! I strived to make these paintings really beautiful because there’s something truly noble in leaving your mark on this world, even (or especially) knowing that it won’t last forever. In the end, that’s what this show is about. And so, despite the ruins in each painting, in this case literally a crashed spaceship, I feel these works are kind of hopeful. We build things. They fall down. We build them again.
Join me, tomorrow night, if you can, for my latest show, Oh, Dystopia.
