another year rolls by… seems to go faster and faster the older I get.
Funny how I look back and realize that my mom was right.
The older you get the faster it goes.
Anyway.. see everyone next year.
New site, work and life stories in the works.
Be good and keep on.

Phidias Gold Distillation Show Dec. 2nd 2011

Damion — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:36:52 +0000

Upcoming at The Distillery Gallery:
“Phidias Gold Presents: Distillation Show”
A Custom Liquor Bottle Gallery Event
November 24 – December 29, 2011
Opening Reception: December 2, 7-10pm
Hours: Mon-Sat, 9-5

Distill: to extract the essential elements of; refine; abstract.

The Distillery Gallery has teamed-up with Phidias Gold, a locally-based premium apparel brand designed for artists by artists, to present an exhibit which exists at the intersection of product and fine art.

Phidias Gold’s Distillation Show considers the space in which it takes place by asking a group of artists to work directly on blank 1L rum bottles. The unique artwork created for this show pays homage to the Distillery building’s former life as an actual rum distillery while continuing the Distillery Gallery’s outside-of-the-box approach to art exhibits. By combining fine art, design, and product within a gallery, Phidias Gold is “extracting the essential elements of” the brand, the artists, and the space. In addition to custom rum bottles, the exhibit will feature site-specific wall installations and a “product room” which will offer a behind-the-scenes look into Phidias Gold and some of the artists involved with company.

Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, December 2nd, 7-10pm

Damion — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 11:54:18 +0000

My buddy Scotty has a show opening tonight it Philly, if you get the chance go out and support him and his work.
Here is a little info on the show and a preview here.
I’m really excited to say I’m now only a couple days away from opening my latest exhibition, ALONG THE WAY, at TrickGo in Philadelphia starting Saturday, June 25th. The show features a collection of new works (pen & ink, wood works, and a few screen printed editions) that were an attempt at capturing specific moments within my life. The title of the show takes a cue from all the moments that these works were inspired from over the years, and as a collection are all the little things along the way. An advanced preview of the work can be found here.

I’m also very honored to be showing with TrickGo at this time as it marks their final show at this location. They’ve been at this space for just about two years now and while they’re going to continue on with TG, I’m very touched to be a part of their final show in their first space. So if your in the area, please stop by to send it off in style!

EXHIBITION INFO:
Exhibition Dates: June 25th – July 20th
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 25th, 6-10PM
