Babylon Falling presents ‘the end is near…’, a group show featuring artwork by each artist that has exhibited at Babylon Falling over the life of the store. Artists include Hal Lawrence, Robert Bowen, David Choong Lee, John Felix Arnold III, Le Bijoutier, Emory Douglas, Peter Simon, David Ball, buZ blurr, C3, Shawn Mortensen, David Young and Christopher Burch. Meant as a true retrospective, the show will also feature the photography of Shaun Roberts who has documented Babylon Falling since day one.
Join us here at Babylon Falling for the opening reception on Thursday, May 21, 2009, from 6-9 p.m. The exhibition will run through June 18, which is also our last day in business. Everything in the store, except for the artwork, continues to be 50% OFF the retail price.
I just dug up some old pictures for class back when I was 22 and 23. I figured that I would post them as most people don't know this other side of me and I never had them up on a site. (I will upload better and more photos once developed). They are drawings based on studies of the way fly's eye and dragonfly's eye kaleidoscopes break apart imagery drawn based on existing drawings viewed through the kaleidoscope. The other image here is a chrome cylinder anamorphosis. A reflective cylinder is placed on the drawing to create a mirrored image which corrects the distortion. During the time I also did more involved anamorphic works, all of which I destroyed but some of which I still have pictures.
