This is a detail from my book. Norman Baker sold a variety of merchandise from his TNT magazine ranging from alarm clocks, lamps and car batteries to cans of beans and cigars and was similar to a Sears & Roebuck catalog in many ways. What Follows is True: Crescent Hotel is available at my website store HERE.
THANKS TO THE EUREKA SPRINGS HISTORICAL MUSEUM
The wonderful Eureka Springs Historical Museum “Baker Hospital” exhibit came down yesterday. Original art from my book What Follows Is True: Crescent Hotel was on display along with artifacts from the Baker Hospital. I just wanted to send out a big THANK YOU to my friend and museum director Jeff Danos for allowing me to be a part of such a wonderful exhibit. Jeff is an exceptional curator and the Eureka Springs Historical Museum exhibitions are always outstanding.
Be sure to check out the new ESHM exhibit: “Recreating the EUREKA BABY”. This exhibit chronicles the long fabled story of “Baby Eureka” – is it an ancient artifact, gorilla artwork, freakshow or a hoax? A group of local artists will add some “color” to the story as they interpret their recreation of “Baby Eureka”. Opening Reception May 17 at 5pm $5 Admission, Free for Museum Members. More information can be found HERE.
DETAIL
This is a detail from a work I completed while in Florence, Italy. This mixed media work consists of acrylic, Prismacolor, photography, collage and solvent transfer. This is from a series that was inspired by my travels throughout Western and Eastern Europe. The work focuses on images of angelic sculptures found in cathedrals, cemeteries, and city streets of Europe. My work emphasizes that modern cities are patchwork tapestries of various layers of assorted art and architectural styles. Ancient, Classical, Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and many other influences are still prominent throughout much of Europe.
