Tim Biskup: new gallery show in NYC
BB pal Tim Biskup, who designed the new Boing Boing/Gama-Go t-shirt, has a show of insanely beautiful new paintings opening on Saturday, May 17, in New York City. When BBtv visited Tim's studio late last year, we were blown away by some of the paintings-in-progress. This body of large pieces is mind-bendingly magnificent. The exhibition, titled The Artist In You, runs through June 14 at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery. Coinciding with the exhibit, Tim is publishing a new book by the same name. It's a collection that includes take-no-prisoners rants against the art "intellegencia," responses to the big money business of fine art, and very personal statements about the process of painting. Above is a sneak preview of some of the Artist In You paintings. Click on each piece for a larger image. Congratulations, Tim! Link to Jonathan Levine Gallery, Link to Tim Biskup's site

Interesting and beautiful. These paintings remind me of this:
LSD drawings
The drawings were part of a gov. study on effects of LSD (once again) but on an artist. In the series the recorded comments of the artist are interesting (never seen those before). But the similarity is in the changing morphing nature of the image. Of course, these drawings are of it hitting an artist for the first time. As an artist my self, I can see how one can take this kind of rough concept and refine it into an actual vision of transformation. Cool stuff.
@GODFATHERSOUL, great link. Thanks for posting it!
