RED

Red has been painting for well over a decade. His work changes and flows in subject matter, a waking side of impressionist subjective stills and scenery, plein air paintings, subject matter ebbing and flowing. The play of light across a curved surface or the point of origin, a slice of nature in the midst of industry, the infrastructure of a midwestern city both in decline and on the rise depending on the angle its viewed from.

And a sleeping side, a dreaming side. Disquieting and unsettling and also colorful and vibrant there is often a juxtaposition to be found in the pop art nature of these forays into surrealism. Reds art speaks across genre and time period while never forgetting the classics. A playlist of doo-wop and technical death metal, a kaleidoscope of broken seaglass, of flowers and bones.

Reds work has become mostly oils on hard surfaces, birch and metal, as the work has spanned the years, but occasionally works dip into multimedia collage, acrylic, water color, and even tattoo. Its art without pretention, allergic to stagnation and perpetually curious about the world, within and without.
