RHAPSODY GROTESQUE SOLO EXHIBIT
OPENS NOVEMBER 7TH, 5-9PM, THUMBPRINT GALLERY, LA JOLLA.

'Rhapsody Grotesque' is an ebullient exploration of the wonderful—be it animal, vegetable, or mineral. In creating the paintings for this show, I sought to shatter and restructure our expectations of the grotesque, imbuing the unknown with whimsy, purpose, and harmony. Additionally, the show is intended as a rebelliously joyful ode to magic, nature, and imagination in an era of division and strife. Some pieces focus on a singular subject; others are a riotous amusement of interacting forms. Together, they invite viewers to consider potentiality not in terms of doom, but as a playground for curiosity and delight.
