Watercolor on paper, 30 x 40 inches
Oh man! My buddy David Rathman sent over a few preview images of his upcoming show, Great Expectations, at Mark Moore Gallery in Los Angeles. If you've been reading this blog for long, you'll know I'm a big fan of his work.
Wonderings, 2010 by David Rathman
Watercolor on paper, 30 x 40 inches
David's watercolors are hyper-masculine and full of nostalgia. He explores a few different themes; dusty scenes lifted from spaghetti Westerns, the collective musical angst of our teen-aged years, and memories of life in a small town (Choteau, MT to be exact).
Where's the end of it? (detail), 2010 by David Rathman
Watercolor on paper, Diptych 42.25 x 69 inches each
Someday, if I ever get rich or famous I'm gonna buy me a David Rathman! Until then, I'm happy to look at these beautiful images online. If you're in LA, you should check them out in person. Great Expectations is a 2 person exhibition; Rathman will be showing with David Hilliard and it looks to be an amazing exploration regarding the spectrum of masculinity. The show will be up Feb 19 - April 2.
