metropolitan moderne – solo show 8/08/09

you’d never think that an offer for a solo show would come from a stranger who just happened to find you on the internet.  however, that’s how this show came about, and i’m very happy how it all turned out.

i created 3 new paintings for this show (one of them even sold at the opening).  unfortunately i don’t have any good photos of them yet, but you can see them in the installation shots from the show.  aside from the new ones i included every other available piece i had.  some are very recent pieces, but some i’ve been holding onto for 3 years or more.

click the photo below to go to flickr, where you can see all my shots from the opening as well as a few shot by a friend of the gallery owner.
