The Darkened Room opens today at the Higher Bridges Gallery in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. The show is comprised of a series of figurative monotype triptychs and a video piece that combines dozens of monotypes, drawings and paintings into thousands of shifting images in a looping meditation on the complexities of memory. Below are a few examples, plus some details.

I’ve had a few requests to put all of the original 14 paintings from The Lebowski Cycle into one post. So, here they are. (Update: A 15th Painting is also included now). The source paintings and more info about the Cycle can be found deeper in this blog. It looks like there will be a couple of exhibits of the original paintings coming up in the next year, one in California, and one in New York. Check back for more info. Also, I’ll be printing some limited edition giclee prints in the near future. Send me an email if you want to be notified when they are available.
