2 Wrongs Dont Make a White

That's the name of this new piece I finished.  It's part of a show I have at Synthetica Gallery in Cincinnati that runs all of June and July.  The piece starts to merge some of my collage and painting but adds the twist of celebrating the materials, both natural, processed and artificial.  Hope you come to the show to see it in person and there are some work in progress shots in the post below.

New Piece 10/4/09

I just finished a new piece that I thought I'd post. It's collage and painting (acrylic and spray) on a 48" x 52" wood panel I re-purposed from my office. Many of the artifacts I incorporated into this piece were from my trip to Berlin this summer, which inspired me more than I could have imagined. While you can get a decent impression on the overall appearance of this piece, much of the detail is only really appreciated in person.

2009 Calendars are finally in!

Well, these are a bit later than I was hoping, but my 2009 calendars are in. These calendars are 8.5" x 5.5" and feature 12 months worth of my artwork from shows in 2008 in Cincinnati, Covington and New York.

I had originally planned to have these ready by early December for sale for $20, but with 2009 under way, I will take orders at $12 each. Email me at atelier.romanos@gmail.com and I will send you one.

The Gift of Art!

Economic times like these are not exactly the best to be thinking about buying stuff, but it is that time of year I suppose. Instead of just buying more plastic junk that will overstay it's welcome before 2009 is even up, why not look for gifts that last, like artwork? I know that it may cost more than a dvd or a sweater, but art will last lifetimes, not unlike say a redwood tree or a big rock but doesn't take up much space.

With that in mind, I have some inventory of paintings from the shows this year and am offering them at a 20% discounted price. Click on the right under the "paintings" tab and have a look at available pieces. Anything that doesn't say "sold" is still available. Email me with questions at atelier.romanos@gmail.com.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
