"THE BRIGHT SIDE" at WOW X WOW GALLERY

"The Bright Side" is a snapshot inspired by the first impression I had when I came upon Matilija Poppies while on a walk through the San Francisco streets. As I was passing by the long bouncing stalks I was sure I had just seen a gorgeous "fried egg flower". I have these pareidolia moments often and they serve as inspiration for many of my art scenes; always preferring to realize my imaginary scene over the actual.

This new piece is available at the UK based online gallery Wow X Wow alongside a long list of international artists. All of the pieces in this show are In the same 10” x 10” dimensions. Please contact Tim MacLean at sales@wowxwow.com for purchase inquiries.

Here is my statement when asked “What inspired this piece?”:

“Isolation in a studio allows for an ample flow of creative thought. That is, until the ineludible appearance of the studio fly; darting about and commanding attention every moment it landed at rest and seemingly to study me. It was persistent, consistent, and impossible to ignore. During those moments of rest I studied the way the light glistened from the brilliant iridescence of it’s thorax. Thus, I found the largest canvas I had in my possession and rendered the likeness of this ordinary turned extraordinary creature in the glorified and larger than life state depicted in this series.”
