While I was traveling, I learned that two of my paintings were selected to be a part of the Triton Museum’s annual art salon. This museum is located in Santa Clara, just down the street from me. I’ve applied to this salon in the past but I didn’t get in. I’m happy to get in this year.
For whatever reason, both paintings feel like stills from the same horror movie. Mask (above) shows a woman in a pink crop top putting an animal-skull like mask to her face. If the Cate Blanchett film Tar were shot in Santa Barbara instead of Berlin, it might look something like this.
The second painting Sidewalk No. 1 (below) is, I suppose, another work in my “Corpse in Cul-de-sac” series. The prone body is there, though partially out of frame. The cul-de-sac is implied.
Anyway, the reception for the Salon at the Triton Museum of Art 2023 will be held on July 9th, 2023 from 2pm to 4pm. I’ll be there and I’d love to see you.
