Art Basel Miami Beach 2017

Art Basel Miami Beach 2017

(Post transferred, original content posted November 28, 2017)

I've decided to call this year's Art Basel offerings 'The Year of Charlie Lee'. This spring, after attending the opening of my solo booth at Art Market, Charlie pulled me aside and asked if I would consider creating portraits of him and his two good friends Joe and Roland, who are Vietnam Veterans and served with Charlie. We spent a wonderful afternoon drinking Budweiser, chatting and shooting reference images.

I’m delighted to announce the exhibition of a brand new body of work, opening Oct 7th at Tinney Contemporary in Nashville, TN.

The collection of 24 drawings comes out of my search for an understanding of new surroundings after relocating to Tulsa, OK from San Francisco at the beginning of 2017 to participate in the year-long Tulsa Artist Fellowship.

Last night I stepped off a plane into the terrifyingly delicious, sticky heat of Florida and was startled to realize that December in Miami is becoming a tradition. For the 3rd consecutive year I will have work showing in the frenetic, delightful cacophony that is Art Basel, Miami Beach.

2015 if off to a running start.  While this is great news in terms of my work, it is bad news in terms of keeping all of you updated.  So, please forgive the scattered nature of this post.

I began January with the  4th annual Supersonic Electronic Invitational, hosted by Spoke Art.  It was an amazing experience to be part of a show that included such a fabulous lineup with work from Sail, João Ruas, Henrik Uldalen and many other artists I've admired for years.  A big thank you to Zach Tutor, who curated the show, for including me.

After spending almost 1/3 of the year working entirely on this body of work, I was both delighted and relieved at the wonderfully positive response to my solo show, 'I Am Another Yourself' at Hashimoto Contemporary this Sept. Apparently I wasn’t quite excited enough to be better at keeping up with my blog, however.

The day I moved to San Francisco in May of 2011, I was minding my own business and happily dodging heroin needles as I ambled along the sidewalk in SOMA. I was walking back from returning my Budget truck, and I happened to wander past some lovely folks who didn't look at all to have dropped said needles. They were setting up a beautiful art fair nearby. This fair turned out to be artMRKT, and a generous curator gave me a few extra passes to the 2011 event. (I think it must have been due to my obvious needle-dodging-skills)
