Summer Works

Since it's been summer and I am not expected to defend my thesis, I have been doing bunch of stuff for fun. But I have also been working on couple works that deals with my philosophical studio works.

One of them is a re-make of an old idea I had, and this is the in-progress shot of what I have so far.

This is another one that is getting fairly close to finish, just couple more layers here and there. This is a cabinet I built that deals with my thesis, "Searching for the Middle Path".

These are very rough photos...

What happened to summer??!?

So first...I'm terrible at keeping up with this whole...blog thing. Seeing how the last post was in June, I guess I'll try to make it up by spamming all the things I've been working on over the summer...and speaking of summer, where did it go? It's already August...

Oh, and also, one of my painting was accepted into a portrait show in Chicago at 33 Contemporary Gallery...That was pretty awesome.

But here are some of the smaller works I've been working on for fun, playing with patterns and using charcoal and stuff.

Summer!

Well, I'm failing at this blog thing...Partially, it's because I know no one looks at them, but I should post every week when the time comes for people to want to read and see my crap...and mean...Artworks.

SO...It's summer, meaning I should have more time to paint and stuff...That means I have to post some new stuff up, and here it is.

The color's off in the photos, but this one's called Awaken the Giant, and it's oil on construction/cutout panels, with strings and molding(used as frame) and such...It makes more sense if you see it in person...

KCAD Open House

This week, from the 7th - 10th, is Kendall College of Art and Design's annual open house, where the whole school basically becomes a gallery. Stop by to see some great works!

Excerpt from Darwin's Game

So, aside from medium/larger works that I have been working on, I am also painting small panels, called Darwin's Game. It consist of 4 panels of 12" x 12", and I am working on 2 sets right now.

This is one of the 4 panels that I've been working on. I'll hopefully have better images of the series up sometime soon...

In Progress: Searching for the Middle Path

So, I haven't been able to get as much painting done in the past couple weeks. We had a guest critic, Sergio Gomez from Chicago and I have research papers that I have to finish. Busy times. But here's a IN PROGRESS shot of Searching for the Middle Path. It's getting closer to being done, but still need to refine some stuff. Hopefully, I have it fully done in the next couple weeks.

New Stuff

So, I still have 2 research paper to work on and a presentation in the next couple weeks...

But, I am getting closer to finish my large painting, Searching for the Middle Path. Photo should be coming soon-ish...but for now, just some progress on smaller paintings I've been working on. They are IN PROGRESS shots of 12" x 12" paintings, which I have 2 more aside from these...I'll try to keep them posted
