WHAT HAPPENED TO SUMMER?!?!

Wow, in about 3 weeks the first day of fall will be here!  Where did Summer go?  This year I focused on the preparations for my show; Idea To Object for the Museum Of Art And History in Lancaster CA it is part of the larger Robot Show.  This was an amazing opportunity to have a retrospective of art from the last 20+ years all on display in one room.

Preparing all of the large scale sculptures was what took the most time.  

Fear of Failure Robot had to be hanging most of the time.  Even when resin coated the foam is a bit fragile 

Film Maker Patrick Nissim made an excellent documentary short about my work and philosophy about being a working artist.  Also thanks to many of my art colleagues who were willing to give their time and contribute to the film.  You can watch it here.

Next stop Designer Con in November we will be doing a mini Idea to Object display there.

SAVE THE DATE AUGUST 4TH 2018!

Very Exciting news; This August 4th is the opening of The Robot Show at the Museum Of Art & History in Lancaster California.   My solo exhibition in the main gallery is titled; “Idea To Object” it is a retrospective of my art works from the last 25 years.  The Show runs from August 4th to September 30th 2018.  My narrative of the show is to demystify the creative process, show a glimpse behind the curtain How did that drawing / painting / sculpture / animation come to be created?  As someone whose worked in all these mediums, I've had to figure that out a lot throughout my life. And that's the central question of my upcoming retrospective at MOAH: How does an idea become an object?

In addition to the art their will be a book and a documentary. Also I am recreating my home studio in the museum for the duration of the show It’s quite an amazing opportunity and an honor.  There are also many other talented robot artists in the other gallery rooms.
The opening reception will be Saturday August 4th from 2 to 6 PM Hope you can make it!!!
