PAINTING MARATHON: THE ONE HUNDRED

Hello, everyone!

On Saturday, October 2, 2010, I was fortunate enough to participate in Painting Marathon: The One Hundred, a painting workshop offered by the School of Visual Arts.

This workshop asked participants to bring in 120 pieces of prepared ground of identical size. An instructor would guide the flow over the next ten hours, using word association, props and live models to create a world of visual stimulation. The artist would have a minimal timeframe in which to generate an artwork inspired by what they saw. By the end of the day, most students would end up with anywhere between 70-100 pieces of newly created artwork.

This was an amazing experience for me, and it helped renew my energy for painting. Please take a moment to check out the work. Click either HERE or the image above to see the never before seen creations.

As always, would be grateful for any feedback you might have!

"Ali II" - Acrylic on canvas. 16 x 20 inches. Painted 2007 by Matt Cauley / Iron-Cow

Hello, everyone!

This painting dates back to 2007. At the time, I was developing a series of paintings that had a Southern-Fried, Thelma & Louise meets Justified flair to them. Each painting featured a scene taking place in the deep south during the middle of summer in a place without air conditioning. The paintings were filled with heat, sweat, and often the grime of a dingy environment. Almost a crime noir for the South, though I certainly wanted them to be fun as well.

Several paintings were started, and most came near to completion. I have never shown them publicly before, as I had intended on developing several more and release them together as a series. Of course, that was a few years ago, and I think it is time to share some of the works. Click on either the image above or HERE to find out more details on this project and view the work.
