Heres the story behind the painting:
1995 ~ around this time I started working on a concept of landscapes from memory. I would take mental notes of differant places that I had seen and combine them into one scene based completely on my memory. The primary elements I based this on was:
Feelings, Atmosphere and Spacial relationships.
This is one of my favorites

I’m participating in TWO more fundraisers this month. 1st Cirque Du Noir and then Fire and Ice.

Cirque is happening this Sunday Oct 25th and proceeds benefit the Worcester County Food Bank. It’s a creative black costume party last year was a fabulous Halloween inspired event! so much fun! I will be participating in the LIVE ART FUSION with great local talents, Scott Boilard, Derek Ring, Payal Kripini, Jessica Burhans and more!
http://www.cirquedunoir.org/ Thank you to Michelle May, Andreea Waters and Bocado for hosting this creative, fun and inspired event.

Then on Oct 30th: Fire and Ice! It’s ArtsWorcester’s annual fund raising Gala and ALL the proceeds go towards the operations of the gallery so they in turn can continue to support over 400 artist members that live in Worcester County.
Event Info
It’s and Art sale and Auction and I am donating this brand new work:
Turning to Go Red (detail)

While prepping for the Live Art Fusion at this years Cirque du Noir I am reminded of one of my absolute favorite artists: Symbolist painter Odilon Redon.
Check out his amazing work in charcoal and pastel. His artwork drops my jaw and my heart all the way to the floor! His technique with tone and color has always been something I’ve aspired to emulate. Its my opinion that he is one of the most over looked artists from the turn of the 20th century. So, if you are participating in Slow Art at the Worcester Art Museum be sure to take a look at the Odilon Redon in their permanent collection.
Until then enjoy these highlights I found online:

Presenter Jeff Warmouth

Bio:

Jeffu Warmouth is a photo-based contemporary artist who has managed to make a career out of playing with his food. His work incorporates photography, video, objects, and installations, and uses jokes and comic twists to subvert logic, language, identity, and culture.

Jeffu has exhibited in alternative spaces and museums, including the DeCordova Museum, the Boston Center for the Arts, and Art Interactive in Cambridge. His award-winning film/video work has screened in festivals internationally. He received his MFA from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and heads the Interactive Multimedia program at Fitchburg State College.

Presenter J. Stuart Esty

Owner of Dr Gonzo’s Uncommon Condiments, J Stuart Esty is passionate about community and jalepenos. His creative and “uncommon” ways of getting his message out through social media certainly attracts attention! Read on…

Bio:

What led this inventor of the (seen on TV) “Jiffy Home Lobotomy Kit”: just insert the stainless steel icepick behind your ear and stir in a circular motion until all your problems and worries disappear…, proud founder of Spruce Up Yours Landscaping International LLC, this high powered Washington lobbyist, tirelessly fighting for our rights to carry concealed Kazoos, this former lead accordion player of a Maraca Rock and Roll Revue (until he was exiled from Columbia after an alleged affair with Juan Valdez’s burro), to dabble in the world of spicy comestibles? Maybe we’ll never know the reason for his shift in focus. All we can hope for is that he will continue to weave delicate textures, tastes and heat profiles in an effort to liberate us all from a world burdened by Bland.

Now, contrary to popular opinion, this iteration of Dr. GONZO is not (and never has been) a 300lb Samoan attorney. He is (and will continue to be) the traveling professor of Advanced Mixology and Arcane Aviation Physics at Hardknock University. Home of the Fighting Black and Blue Humping Lumper Marching Band; that not only carries the instruments in tight formation across the rugby pitch, they also carry the people that play the instruments in tight formation across the rugby pitch, and the (oh, so hard to get on) Intramural Cross Country Pruning Shear Relay Team, where we take running with scissors to the next level…

Stay tuned to YouTube’s DrGonzosCondiments channel for behind the scenes footage of Dr. GONZO’s ‘Secret’ Underground lab, Xtreme Grilling Team and early failed high volume production experiments of our “World Famous” Peppermash. Yes, sometimes the best humor involves the failings of another so, have a giggle at our expense.

J. Stuart Esty can be found loitering in and or around Dr. GONZO’s All Natural MEGA Spicy Comestible EMPORIUM at 122 Main St. (located in the heart of the hysterical courthouse district) in Worcester, MA (the cultural Mecca of Central Mass).

Presenter Ian Hickey

Chef Ian Hickey is presenting on Creative Processes of Cooking, He continually challenges himself to create a tilt on modern American Cuisine. I recently had the opportunity to hear his thoughts on this topic and was fascinated by the process behind building a menu and the challenges in balancing innovation with accessibility. I can’t wait to hear more about the art that goes into cooking!

Musician and Artist Lennie Peterson is passionate about the marriage of Music and Visual Art. He’s agreed to present at Pecha Kucha Night Worcester Vol. 2 to share his passion and insight about the spontaneous, improvised creation within the relationship of Music and Visual Art.
He also shared this concept recently with friend Kaki King, wow-ing her with the idea of painting a guitar with her music….using the action of strumming to mark the guitar. This idea took seed and grew into Kaki King “The Exhibition”. Ovation donated 12 guitars to be turned into art by 12 artists with a 13th guitar painted live at the exhibit and auctioned off to benefit VH1’s Save The Music.

Using the same guitar that she played “Pink Noise” on The David Letterman Show, she dipped her hands into pink acrylic paint and strummed out Pink Noise on stage at the exhibit (admitting that she would have to play Karaoke style because the sound will change as soon as the paint hits the guitar strings)
Thus creating Pink Noise The Guitar. This guitar hasn’t gone up for auction yet so stay tuned for where and when to bid. Until then check out these photos from the show.
