EN MASSE...
... a show I've co-curated with Tim Barnard here in Montreal, at Galerie Pangee.
We've gathered together 28 of the city's finest artists under one roof, to create an enormous collaborative mural over the course of February. Thus far the results have been explosive!
Naturally, if you're here in town, come down and show some love to the artists throughout the month as they work (every tues, thurs, and sat...often into the evening). Our 'wrap' party on the Feb 28, marks both the final day of drawing, and the finest party in the city amongst the many activities marking the all night festivities of Nuit Blanche...a party not to be missed!
If you're not in Montreal, don't be a stranger to some of the following links...I'm uploading pictures/news/press of the show on a regular basis, in order to keep the kids happy and smiling.

a couple brothers under the influence of a box o' guts...or...what do they put in this stuff to make us feel this way?

drawing fire...
Three drawings completed for (TRANS)FORMATIONS...each mounted to gator-board panel measuring four feet square.
Not sure what to say about these guys right now (not for lack of things to say), but at the moment, I'm knee deep in a couple of projects, one of which is the production of a catalog for the show these images belong to. I promise to post some good text soon!

A large multi-disciplinary installation, created specifically for Galerie Pangee (Montreal)…(TRANS) FORMATIONS is a unique and designed invitation into the world of spiritual exploration… a deep and tonifying journey through the enigmatic narrative that is the ‘transmigration of the soul’.
These works are not meant as a theoretical/metaphysical treatise on the theories of ‘reincarnation’; they are a lens, shaped and polished, through which I could view the world and my attempts to make sense of the hubris of the day to day, and in so doing, rise above entanglements authored by the double-bind of life and death.
This ‘wide angle’ vision of life aids in transcending our ingrained social identities, thus allowing a pivotal testing of deeply entrenched social realities as well a fresh examination of our collective inherited ‘spiritual’ (or lack thereof) realities.
The ‘disparate’ elements and materials of this show are in constant dance with each other; a play of repeated visual ‘cross-references’. A call-answer dialogue. This ‘game’, in both its creation and interpretation, nurtures the recalling and development of one’s personal narrative/myth through a weave of historically established (archetypal) symbols, and images bubbling up from a visual logic and design of my own interiors, allowing for a compelling study of puzzle-like layers of reality.
“(TRANS) FORMATIONS” opens the door to my own expanded line of questions pertaining to the exploration of oneself as a ‘spiritual’ being. It is my hope that this work will inspire many more such inquiries, which in turn will invite and renew a greater sense of responsibility towards life in the broadest sense.
