Notepad violence

2010-09-14T22:52:00.012-04:00

Loose interpretation of Wayne and John from the JohnWayne Shootout. I drew on a notepad during their band practice. Wayne wrote this song. I think it's pretty sweet. It's kinda funny the lyrics Living in God's basement.. a good couple of months after Wayne wrote this song his dad's guitarshop moved across the street and now has basement below a church, and next to the town tavern.

...just expanding on doodling. This is notepad paper too.. obviously with a little photoshop involved.

Maybe this will lead to some kind of primitive geometric ritual masks or something from a civilization that never got a chance to exist. Or maybe not. Maybe it's just tinkering around.

Just a little boost to get the viewer to see what they will. Each viewer will imagine something different without even trying. When you read these words, your life experiences will automatically present you with a visual, like when reading a novel and visualizing characters, scenes etc... There will be several pieces making up one final piece.

Mixed Media

Wood, Paintbrushes, Feathers, Paint

This piece is more about the manipulation of readymades. It is also about repetition though you might not pick up on that. It is nice to use painting as a crutch sometimes. Angle is to engage viewer. I think you can fill in the rest.

BAU Sculpture? What???

2009-03-23T21:54:00.004-04:00

Fred and I have always liked spray paint and with my new found love for sculpture I find this a fitting exploration of the media.

I made a simple two-part rubber mold using a Montana Spray paint can and tip.

Had some issues with rims and edges but on a whole the experiment I feel is successful.

I love colour!(that's spelled right, dammit) I love the shape of the can. The colured cans are paraffin/wax mix. The colour comes from Crayola Crayons that are thinly sliced and added to wax mixture... than poured and allowed to cool and harden.

The other cans are plaster, hydrostone, and concrete. Same process but the hardening time for plaster and hydrostone is shorter. The concrete takes longer. It is a great process.

The piece is about juxtaposition. The solid elements of colourless strength toppled over in contrast to the colour-clumped beauty and delicacy of the wax is just wonderful feeling. The cans of solid material or over to fill the space and remind the viewer that solid isn't so strong. The colour and beauty is strength. It is not for me to decide how you look at it. Just my process.

The pedestals are part of the piece I wanted to pull the elements together and open up the piece to the room. I simply spray painted the coloured pedestal and dripped hydrostone/plaster/concrete down the other. I presented the piece off of the wall and in the middle of the gallery. I might try and enter this into some up coming juried art shows. Feedback from you big artists would be lovely. Enjoy, and thank-you.

So.. reigning from the Keystone State I have a memory of the day Budd Dwyer lost his marbles.

Nationally televised news conference with Mr. Dwyer, a .357 magnum, and a snow day.

Politics kill people. Taking money from the mob kills people. .357's kill people. It isn't everyday you see all of these things come together on television while eating breakfast.

This piece of art isn't for me to tell you about, although if you are not familiar with Budd Dwyer perhaps googling him will put this into more perspective.

It is a comment on what you remember.

I will never forget this.

It is my way to remember, regardless of what the audience knows, it is more about simply remembering to remember not to forget. Oh and my utter disliking for politics.

Enjoy.

Here is one of Jon Owen's new sculptures,
Montana Spray Cans, each "can" is approx. 7.25" x 2.5" Feb. 2009

from Jon:

"The White one is plaster.. (1st one done) The gray/black speckled one is paraffin and wax mixture coloured by using crayons... you cut up crayons and Crayola brand is best.. they melt instantly.... the cheaper brand crayons do not tend to breakdown in wax/parraffin. The orange is mostly paraffin with a little wax as well.... that is made purely from the Crayola Brand crayons... the coloured casts are bunted on the bottom as well... I over poured the plaster cast..."

What is BAU Movement?

2009-01-24T10:07:00.001-05:00

This is an attempt to explain, but in no way meant as a manifesto.

The "BAU Movement" started about three years ago as a lark. A former student asked if he could use a corner of the studio space at Penn State York. He graduated with a degree in English (but he wanted to major in art)

This guy was adding snippets of his poetry to his paintings. I painted a response to a blog of his (an "ablogogy") about pissing in someone's freezer at a party. From there, we just played around with this idea of textual paintings throughout late 2007 and into the summer of 2008, when another former student moved to S. Oregon and re-enrolled in art school. He had been working with paint and stencils too, and we kept egging each other on.

A third person has been making drawings and paintings that served to “illustrate” or reflect her poems for about two years now; she was a freshman when the first guy was “borrowing” studio space.

Anyway, there are folks in their 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s with some common interests: dealing with personal stuff in their art (business as usual eh?), working with text (written or stenciled), and trying to maintain a sense of craftsmanship (the work aspect). We are working on an exhibit in August and I will keep you posted.
