This March was a bit of a coming out party for me. For the first time in a decade (since 2010) I was out publicly in Toronto showing my artwork. On March 5th around 8 p.m. I nervously greeted a crowd of people at Elaine Fleck Gallery (1351 Queen Street West, Toronto) and presented “Idol Woody“.
…COLLECTION IDEA STATEMENT:
A brand new collection of works about the obsessions we compulsively collect and obsess over or in our our current lives and the memories of things we followed as children as panted into fantastic into idols and monuments as POSITIVE VICES.
These obsessions are brought to life and exaggerated to become giant structures and entire environments actively being constructed and explored…even worshiped by tiny characters who represents the conscience of an individuals as well as the masses of the population who worship each subject in modern pop culture. Like current the towering Statue of Unity in India, the Statue of Liberty in New York City, Mount Rushmore and towering modern marvels we cling to in awe today as well as the ancient structures like the pyramids – we humans are driven to create idols.
