New Works and things of interest

Here are a few pictures of both newer and a few older works that haven't been added to the blog yet. I've been very busy my band THE ORANGE  these past few months leaving me little time to show art. However I have been visiting museums, sketching, painting and planning another solo show this coming spring so stay tuned for the details. May looks ideal for the show and I will have details about it by March. Also read further down to see some of the incredible pieces I have seen these past few months: British Contemporary

                       I sent it back where the wolves reside, 2010 by Scott Tucker

I stole this, painted it and returned it to where I originally found it. It looked so interesting among all the other brown wood crates/pallates in such a brilliant shade of red it was beautiful. Two people walked casually by talking as I was replacing it and taking pictures. They both stopped, looked at me like I was crazy and then kept walking. Although most of my works are paintings and sculptures I fully subscribe to Marcel Duchamp's idea of ready made art. There is something asthetically pleasing about the everyday things around us that we see but don't ever think about. In this piece I aimed to display just that. The norms of the wolves; a showcase of the everyday duty and quality in an industrial capitalist socieity highlighted in a brilliant shade of red. I took it, changed it and sent it back to where the wolves reside.

This last week I visited the new Goss Michael Foundation and did some sketching, The Goss Michael Foundation is a really cool gallery owned by singer George Michael and his partner Kenny Goss that displays British contemporary works here in Dallas. Highlights of the collection include Saint Sebastian, Exquisite Pain, by the great Damien Hirst (the most important British artist of the 90's) and a really cool sculpture/collage called, Black Narcissus/Ellwood, L Word- Culture Station by the artist Richard Patterson. I strongly reccomend a trip to this place as it really is worth the hard time I had finding it amongst the design district.
