Show Statement:
THE CREATURE FEATURE CLUB is a collection of character like paintings pulling inspiration from movie monsters, animated bad guys, and video game villains. Never too scary, but ever present with their dynamic appearance and over the top presence. This work builds on the more character like features that have occasionally popped up in my previous work. All the signature elements of my Candy Pop Sci-Fi Abstraction are present; bold color combinations, sharp geometric shapes, and patterns all interacting with each other while feeling simultaneously flat and layered. With this show I wanted to use a collection of canvases to create a body of work that feels like these characters were pulled straight out of my growing imaginary world and brought center stage.
