Renewed Piece of History

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Work in Progress piece. I was walking around one day to the Japanese antique store and found this old piece of Japanese paper. As I was walking back to the hotel, the paper was so dried that it started cracking. To preserve it, once I went home I tried collaging it onto a painting that I am working on.

You never know what you might find in an old items/antique store, on a bright sunny day.

I love finding old items, it is an adventure every time. :)

The cold is not stopping..

Happy 2012 to everyone! Time sure is flying, I was away for bit in Cuba, and it was a really refreshing inspiring time.. settled back in Toronto now and back to work again! Can't believe its almost the end of this month already. Just wanted to drop in and share a new piece I've been working on, more to come soon.

Upcoming: Art Brownie Shop Project at IndexG Gallery, Toronto

Hi Everyone,
Things are busy! Been really excited these days working on a new body of work which will be released in 2012.

I have also been working on some small pieces for a few shows and events.
Here is a work in progress of one that is coming up in Toronto, Canada at IndexG Gallery. I will post the final as well when it is finished.

These are great days

Hope you're all enjoying spring so far, its been really nice here in Toronto lately.

I've been extremely busy the last month but finally here is a sneak peak of the beginning stages of something I am currently working on for a show on May 18 at Gallery 1988 Los Angeles

Little teaser Gallery 1988 posted up on their blog recently..

Also been finishing up on a book project that I've been working on with my friend Kei Acedera that will soon announce.

more info to come soon...

Natural Affinity (work in progress)

Here is another piece I am working on right now. Concept is again nature x human interaction and the idea of life and energy giving from our natural environment.

Here is the defined drawing and the first layer of acrylics + colored inks... working a bit differently this time, instead of painting on wood with oils and acrylics like most of the other pieces i've done, I decided to experiment a bit and try painting on paper again..

Fun stuff...I'll post more wip on this piece soon or the final...

Continue the Work in progress...

Some new work in progress shots of the paintings i've been working on..
more to come..hopefully very soon. Also some retouching...

Few work in progress...

Here are two paintings I'm working on right now..
Top one is going to be a collab with my friend Tyrel for the Square foot Group show coming up on August 16th at AWOL gallery in Toronto.

Just for fun...

This is my current workspace...its getting really messy...gotta clean up. haha.



















and about time for some art update. Here is a piece I am currently painting...it might be used for my mailer which will be available at the show next week. This is actually a second piece after a piece of the similar symbol. I will post that one later...as well as talk about the concept/series i'm working on at the moment.





















P.S. One of the reason's i'm not posting much art recently is because i want to keep a few pieces as a sort of surprise at the Sheridan Grad Show...maybe. Anyways, I will post those too really soon on or after the grad show.
