“Archie, Betty, and Cupid”

Poor Archie. He’s confused. But he’ll figure it out -- eventually. 

Love is love isn’t love. Well, whatever it is, they at least got laid. Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Tell that to Archie.

Installation View Expo at Atelier Cora Egger, Barcelona

"Love's Not Love” at Atelier Cora Egger, June 6, 2019, Barcelona.
The theme of the show deals loosely with the theme of love in: carnal love, lost love, promised love; and the related themes of gender, power, morbidity, sexism, and pornography. This was the first time I had shown my work in a solo show in a long time. The work was new, and the timing of the show couldn't have been better. Thanks, Cora!

This was one of the first raster gnomes I painted. They are all the same theme and subject. A landscape, central gnome in the foreground. A knife in one hand, a bleeding heart in the other.

I was invited to a small group show at Cora's space a few months earlier. She offered me the space to do a solo show. Lots of artists and friends that I hadn't seen for a long time came out to the opening. That felt good.
