12 new prints at Goodfriend Beer Garden for the Month of April Extended to Mid May!
by Don Relyea on Apr 2, 2012 • 2:42 am No CommentsThe body of work in this collection at Goodfriend Beer Garden is titled “Bombshell” and is based on video art piece I did a year or so ago by the same name.
These prints are inspired by bombshells from the 50s 60s 70s like Sophia Loren, Stella Stevens, Elke, Twiggy, Raquel Welch and Sharon Tate. The style is influenced by graffiti, marbleized paper patterns and Chicago artist Ed Paschke color sensibility.
The works are created digitally using software particle painting engine written in c++ and open GL that feels very similar to spray painting graffiti except that I can use a mouse or my fingers on a tablet instead.
