This painting will be featured in a group exhibition called “ART FROM THE NEW WORLD” at Bristol’s City Museum & Art Gallery. Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery is collaborating with the museum to bring the collection to British and European audiences.  This painting will also be included in Joe’s upcoming museum show at Cal State Fullerton’s Grand Central Museum in November of 2010.

I just got back from working with Jud Bergeron, at his place in upstate NY, in preparation for a show this coming November. The show will be at Cal State Fullerton’s Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana, CA,  and will feature 10 new paintings and, in collaboration with Mr. Bergeron, eight new sculptures, as well as selected oil paintings from the last decade; in conjunction with an art book to be released at that same time, Ruby Lips Above the Water, Blowing Bubbles Soft and Fine. Here are some snapshots I took while out there working:

The night before we headed upstate, I saw Mia Wasikowska from the movie, Alice in Wonderland come out a side door of the Letterman show. People were awfully excited. You just don’t see that sort of paparazzi in Flagstaff:

Here are a few shots of a painting I recently finished. It is titled:

the secret collapse of miss lorraine
34″ x 40″; Oil on Canvas

It will be printed in the next issue of BLAB! for the theme of The Apocalypse. My thinking here is that it’s a micro-take about an apocalypse for this one girl. Her world being suddenly being interrupted by unknown forces (the phonecall). I like the idea that we all have our own private apocalypse scenarios, our own buttons that can lead to a death and perhaps, sometimes to, a rebirth of sorts, you know?

This painting will be shown at Copro Gallery for the BLAB!show 2009. Visit the gallery link for more information.
