Paintings at "Murmurings"


Also, at the Chicago show, I made one large new painting and recreated two other paintings.  I used silkscreening and decals along with traditional painting on wood panels.  The paintings are all coated with clear epoxy. 







"Murmurings" in Chicago

One of the best experiences of my life was being accepted to install an art show in Chicago this last December (2013).  The reason for it being of great significance is that I was chosen as the second person in a team of two; the other artist being"Murmurings" Opening Chicago Feb. 2014 my daughter, Noelle Allen.  Noelle has a very active career as an artist based in Chicago.  She works in multi mediums emphasizing sculpture and 3D pieces.  Noelle created large, exceptionally intricate and beautiful hanging sculptures for the show and I created an LED wall piece as well as three paintings.  We were both very happy that the LEDs illuminated her hanging pieces in a lively way and that the esthetic of the whole installation was very cohesive.
