I'm still buzzing from @umbrellaartfair this past weekend. Thank you all who came through, chatted, shared ideas, and enjoyed themselves. Especially thank you to the boss who bought my Death Scorpion! Thank you @peterfranklinchang @allymumm @usanusan_ @frontrunnerprod @eventsdc @smallbizdc @thedcarts @dc.thesquare @goldentriangledc for the opportunity and for making this the best Umbrella Art Fair yet. This experience left me so inspired. Seeing my pieces alongside such a talented array of artists has me raring to go make a new body of work. Sketches in progress. See you in the future. 🤙

New year, new painting! Here's a look at my cutting process, where I drill pilot holes strategically for my jigsaw to cut with precision, and then sand the edges smooth by hand. Shout out to my flashlight gloves 🔦🧤 they really came in handy. Also goggles 🥽 and respirators 🤿 for the protection. See the final painting at @treihova 's Fighting Shadows: Round 2 group show, opening THIS SATURDAY January 10th at @thundersharkgallery !

⚠️ OPENING POSTPONED TO OCT 25 Thundershark Gallery is proud to present FRAGMENTS: Art by Dany Green, Louis-Antoine Gilbert, and J.D. Deardourff. October 25th – November 8th Thundershark Gallery | 52 O St NW DC Working in wildly different media – mosaic, painting, and collage – our trio is bound together by the small chaotic fragments they harness to create cohesive and orderly worlds. Each in their own way, our artists layer colors and shapes to evoke depth and meaning.  Dany Green @danyxart pushes the boundaries of traditional mosaics, incorporating unexpected shards of found objects into compositions inspired by the cosmos. Her work transforms depending on the viewing angle, challenging her audience to explore new perspectives and reconsider initial impressions. This playful, imaginative quality is shared by her fellow artists, JD and Louis-Antoine. JD Deardourff @jddeardourff has been making bright energetic collages! His signature blazing palette and comic-inspired compositions are somehow both optimistic and apocalyptic. JD is a printmaker by training, and his collage work retains the layered sensibility of screen-printing while embracing a new, textured, nearly sculptural layered form. Unlike JD, for Louis-Antoine Gilbert @antoine_paints the depth in his work is pure illusion. Acrylic paint on canvas becomes MC Escher-like cityscapes, where unexpected color combinations form a maze of pathways and windows into mysterious worlds. Oct 25 • Opening Reception Oct 29 • Art Night Nov 8 • Artist Talk + Closing Day  🔗 RSVP links in bio Curated by Rachel Wallach @rachelwallach and Mike O’Brien Poster by Mike O'Brien @redtablepress

Painted and poured resin on the wood chain frame I cut for the @rachelwallach collaborative Double Flail embroidery. The piece is originally from our first duo show “Thundershark” back in 2019. The new chain frame symbolizes an ongoing and strengthening commitment in our relationship—romantically and artistically. ⛓️💖
