Farewell

This commemorative piece is truly the emergence of conceptual art and at the same time the uniting of two individuals permanently in one physical space. With the help of Emmanuel Hoachlander of Section 9 Tapes, through a technique developed in the 1950 when music was recorded onto a cheap and readily available means of x-ray film, I utilized that concept of permanence by converting a spoken farewell recording of a mother saying good bye to her children and husband. Her lasting words are immortalized, and archived and also playable on an x-ray record of her husband.

        Doctor

        I often collaborate with a fellow artist. After having visited a cherished relic site of St. Anthony Chapel in Pittsburgh, PA, I was fascinated by the collector “priest-physician,” Reverend Dr. Suitbert Godfrey Mollinger. As part of an extensive project with fellow artist Gregory M. Yates, we collaborated on images of Dr. Mollinger. We hope to donate the proceeds of these portraits to the restoration and preservation of the church that houses one of the largest collections of relics in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA.

          Kocan – A Moment

          This artistic rendering of a romantic moment in France is from a photograph that was presented to me.

            Time Lapse

            This piece was created for a specific space in a client’s home. Personal photos and objects of meaning were arranged in a collage. The consultation for arrangement and organization of the look was done in a 7-month span before personally installing the piece in its permanent location.

              Dirt Woman

              A client had approached me about creating an art piece for a fundraiser auction at Side by Side. The subject was a prominent historical figure in the city of Richmond VA. The piece was a re-creation of color and underlying tones of gold leaf from a photograph taken by Times-Dispatch in 1988, of the legendary drag queen Donnie “Dirt Woman” Corker.

                Mother of Pearls

                This is a work that represents the three most precious elements within my life and the woman who anchors it all.

                  This triptych of power lines obstructing the viewer from a modern-day cloud cover is numbing and all too familiar.

                    Ryan & Liz

                    When commissioned to render this image of the couple, I immediately envisioned radiating rays of adoration.

                      Scrum with a Crow

                      I was awoken one early morning to the sound of a dozen crows squawking, and when I looked out the window a hawk was bantering with the murder. Later that day I saw the actual site of the earlier scrum and transferred this photographic image to canvas.

                        Looking sky

                        This acrylic transfer was from a photograph taken on a ski trip. In looking to produce a large piece this photograph montage pushed me to expand within a larger format and connecting theme.

                          Within this piece, the acrylic layers that make up the figure symbolizes the whole of a person that has perished and now resides in the blue sky (heaven).

                              Donut Dream

                              My daughter one morning told my wife and me that she had a dream about orbiting circles around chocolate glazed donuts and eventually flying through the center of one and taking a bite.

                                Working with David at the 1420 Gallery was such a wonderful experience. They took a cherished photograph of my wife and I and transformed it into so much more. Exceptional quality of the painting and framing. The shipping was also very prompt and professional. I would absolutely recommend and will do business with 1420 Gallery again.

                                1420 Gallery was such a pleasure to work with. They understood my vision (maybe even better than I did!) and knew how important the project was to me. Genuinely, all of our expectations were exceeded. We’ll cherish our piece forever.

                                He created a mural with actual artifacts that we gave him that represented our relationship and history together along with a painting he created as the backdrop based on a picture that we sent him. Super grateful for this piece of art displayed in our home!
