New canvas prints.

Alsobrooks — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 16:33:00 +0000

I’m offering new canvas prints of a few of my photographs for the first time. I’ll have a set of images centered around water available this 3rd Friday in my studio at Golden Belt. The prints range in size from 18″ x 24″ to 14″ x 36″ and there are single prints as well as a nice diptych up for grabs.

Y’all remember this?

Here’s the moment we were drawing winners for the raffle of New Neighbors paintings. Either I can’t bear to watch or I’m trying to reconcile who wants what painting!

New Neighbors : The Mixtape

That’s kind of a funny title for this post, but I did indeed put together a few of the songs I heard while making the New Neighbors paintings. To catalog them all would mean handing out terabytes. A limited number of copies will be available at tomorrow night’s auction event at the Golden Belt Room 100 space (807 E. Main St. in Durham, NC).

In-Between.

This is what it looks like to be in-between.

OK, another ArtSLAM!

We’ll be at it again this Friday at LabourtLove Gallery! Although it’s really not related, I always think of this when I think of ArtSLAM!

3 artists will create 9 pieces of art in 20 minute bursts. Topics come from the audience. It’s a fun time, especially for hanging out in a gallery. Here’s a link to LabourLove’s blog, where you can get all the details.

Basically, the event will start at 7 pm this Friday, 2/5/10 at LabourLove Gallery in Golden Belt, here in Durham, NC. See you there!

Hey, folks. I’m one of three artists to do battle on Friday, Dec. 11 at LabourLove Gallery at Golden Belt in Durham, NC. Basically, audience members tip their concepts into a hat and one is drawn out. The 3 artists will have 20 minutes to express this concept in a visual piece. The pieces will be auctioned off at the end of the night. Should be lots-o-fun. I’ll be sharing the stage with Kelly Dew and Owen Beckman.

Here’s what LabourLove is saying about the event.

One-year Painting.

Alsobrooks — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:53:53 +0000

I’m starting a year-long painting today. Well, maybe not an entire year. But it won’t be completed until August of 2010. As part of my new residency from the Durham Art Guild at Golden Belt, I’m required to donate a painting. Rather than get to the end of the year and randomly pick out a piece from the previous year’s body of work or select a piece which may or may not sell, I thought I’d give them something that had a hand in everything completed during my time in the studio. The real foundation (literally) for my work.

I had previously assembled a rough tabletop as my primary work suffice when I realized it could actually be a painting. So I’m going to use the tabletop as a workspace and as a painting. Along with collaging stuff I’ll allow my normal working process to contribute to the eventual painting. It’ll serve almost like a journal of the year’s work. It should be interesting. And fun. But my idea of fun is throwing paint and carving letterforms into plywood.

You can come see me in the space (tonight) as part of Durham’s Third Friday event. The studios at Golden Belt are located at 807 East Main Street in Durham, NC. I’m in Studio 138 in Building 3. Cheers.

On the hook.

I’m happy to report I’ve started a year-long studio residency at Golden Belt in Durham. Many thanks to the Durham Art Guild and Scientific Properties who awarded the Residency. I’ll be developing a community program and will be required to provide quarterly reports on progress to the Guild. I’m happy to oblige on these points. : )

I’m looking to expand on the art forms I’ve explored so far. This means I’ll be looking at projections, interventions in public spaces, traditional 2-D forms, sound and video. Not necessarily in that order… and not necessarily any or all of these forms will make it out of the studio door. Is that vague enough? Stay tuned… I’m accountable to progress!

Here’s the press release from the Guild.
