Illustrations by Orange Park, Florida-based Brian Despain
In his first exhibit with Seattle-based Roq La Rue since 2009′s "Requiarium," Brian Despain is primed and ready with a whole bag of new tricks for his upcoming show next month.
Opening Friday, February 11th, "Tin Machines and Mercuric Dreams" will continue to highlight the artist’s expertise with the brush, with a new series of brilliantly rendered oil paintings of his personable robot characters in desolate landscapes rife with iconography and symbolism for the viewer to draw meaning and inspiration from. This exhibit, however, will also feature Brian’s creative range in three-dimensions, as his first two bronze sculptures will be on display during the show. The early images we have here to share with you, both of some new paintings and drawings as well as one of the bronzes, look extremely promising and set the stage for an intriguing showing on the horizon.
