Yesterday I delivered the work to the gallery for my upcoming solo show, Skin/Deep. It's always exciting to arrive at this part of the process. I'm eager to see the show hung in the gallery and I am anticipating what it will look like when it's hung in the main gallery space at Exhibit A. I'm also excited to see how people will respond to the work that has been my artistic focus for the past six or seven months.
The show is comprised of 19 brand new works. Thematically the works are tied together in several ways. Each work has a base subject of either a fruit or vegetable that is in one way or another shrouded in a (Skin) or peeling away a skin. This work contains meanings that run far (Deep)er than what you see on the immediate surface. The works are rich in symbolism that is rooted in the Renaissance and I've created a bit of my own visual vocabulary as well.
Typical of the way I work, all 19 works are digital images. Most are presented as limited edition prints on aluminum. One image, providing things work out, should grab your attention in a new and exciting way. I'm trying something a little different, taking a risk, and hoping that you'll feel an immediate impact. So, please mark your calendars and plan to join me for the opening reception.
