Rise On Up and Melt

2011-06-24T13:42:00.006-04:00

I'm proud to announce my big brother Scott is putting out a beautiful new full length album today called Efren - Rise On Up and Melt. It was an honor to design the album art. I was gonna post a review written by someone else, but I think I changed my mind just now, because I know what the album is about ... and it's very sad indeed. I won't give away all the insider gossip, just to save everyone the pain of reliving it on my art blog. I also won't do track by track other-band-comparisons, because I don't wanna plant those ideas in your cranium. What I heard when I first listened was an amazing sense of "the song". The album is a song writer's album, not an indie-psych mind screw like some of Scott's previous releases. Melancholy, misery and whiskey are definitely the main ingredients in this dish. There are a few country shuffles and rockabilly movements, but by the conclusion of the record, you not only feel like it's gonna work out in the end, but you also kinda feel like you know what it's like to live on a dirt road in Crawford, GA.

FEB. ART SHOW UPDATE

2011-02-23T07:24:00.004-05:00

As usual, I have an update on all my art shows around town. Two of these shows are happening THIS WEEK!

1.

GO small art show

The Distillery Gallery is pleased to announce “Go Small”, a group exhibit of 10″ x 10″ works on panel. For this show, the playing field has been leveled – and has shrunk – by asking artists to produce work specifically for the exhibit on small blank panels provided by the gallery. While a wide range of mediums, styles, and artistic backgrounds will be represented throughout the anticipated 60+ pieces of artwork, an absolute cohesiveness will be maintained by simply limiting the size and surface of the material on which works may be produced.
Exhibiting artists include:
Gabin Cortez Chance, Aimee Belanger, Nick Ward, Kenji Nakayama, Elizabeth Geissler, Laurie Savage, Mary Fay Holt, Joyce McDaniel, Marilyn MacLeod, Elizabeth Grammaticas, Vanessa Irzyk, Dana Woulfe, Dan McCole, Chantal Hardy, Scott Chasse, Tony Bevilacqua, Fran Azzarto, Greg Crist, Mary Sherman, Jude Sirois, Adam O’Day, Cassandra Long, Gregery Miller, Hercules IV, David Clemente, Martin Esteves, David Wooddell, Eric D. Love, Micaela Ruiz, Matthew DeBeul, Josh Taylor, Andrew Mowbray, Jarrett Golz, Jillian Evelyn, Sally Fine, Pat Falco, Robert daVies, Elizabeth Zdunich
Please join us for the opening reception on Thursday, February 24th, from 6-9pm.

516 East Second Street, South Boston, MA 02127

3 Big Shows this week

2010-11-15T09:48:00.003-05:00

I am proud to announce 2 of my biggest shows ever. Urbanites and Salad 2.0. Also, the DeCordova Museum is showing a couple pieces of mine at Build Boston. All details below. Come out and support the local art scene.

Urbanites
November 18 – December 16, 2010
Opening Reception: Thursday, Nov 18, 6 -9pm
Historically, artists have often found the “city” as a muse. The energy, technology, population, monumental structures, and pace of life can easily be inspiring. The translation and resulting representation of urban influence may vary from dark and dismal to magnificent, palatial, or even serene. It is this individual absorption of the metropolitan experience that formulates one’s own take on citylife, and the artwork that may stem from it.
Corresponding with this theme, The Distillery Gallery presents “Urbanites”, a show of artwork that exhibits reflections of experiences within cities. 2D and 3D works will form a survey of responses to urban stimuli, while the gallery itself – located within a mid-19th century rum distillery – will also serve as a character in the exhibit, still donning many traits indicative of its former industrial use within the city limits of Boston.
Curated by Scott Chasse, this exhibit will feature Boston-based artists Josh Falk, Sean Flood, Kenji Nakayama, and Adam O’Day; Brooklyn-based artist Chris Smith; and the Philadelphia-based artist Chris Clark.

Happy Intestines, mixed media and collage, 9x12", 2008
It's an old collage I found and recently gave as a gift. I meant it to be an illustration of what it feels like to eat exactly what you were in the mood for. That moment when you were thinking "Damn, I could use some nachos" ... and then you get a big steamy pile of nachos moments later.

Paintbox From Start to Finish

2009-04-27T09:58:00.000-04:00

This past weekend, I participated in Boston Shines, a program to brighten up the cultural and environmental quality of Boston's city streets. To do my part, I have painted an electrical box with an urban city scene. I just came up with a title at this moment: Peace and Love, Peace and Love, Acrylic, India Ink - Varnished on Steel Utility Box, approx. 6'x2'x3.5'.

The following series of photos shows the process from the very first brush stroke until the finished product. It was painted from Friday, April 24th-Saturday, April 25th.

The box is located at the intersection of Western Ave and North Harvard Ave, near Harvard Stadium and across the street from Seven Eleven. Come check it out!
