For all the folks who ask - I love seeing my work tattooed, I just ask that anyone who wants to get it done considers picking something up from my online shop to help let me keep making my art! Thank you all so much for your support! ❤️

James Bullough’s “Parallel Truths” at Thinkspace Projects.
Currently on view at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California is artist James Bullough’s solo exhibition, “Parallel Truths.”
Bullough’s paintings and huge monumentally scaled site-specific murals, are phenomenal combinations of realist painting technique and graphic punctuation. Inspired by urban graffiti as a young artist growing up in Washington, DC, Bullough harnessed its energy in his work, and perfected a realistic oil painting technique from his study of the Old Masters. Combining the momentum of the one and the technical precision of the other, his work is about staging compelling contrasts and juxtapositions.
Working with dancers from Berlin and elsewhere, Bullough begins with the body in motion, arrested in an expense of negative space, then dissembles it further, splicing, striating, and fragmenting its surfaces and planes. Always working from his own photo reference, his models remain anonymous and faceless throughout, an omission intended to reaffirm the symbolic universality of the emotive physical gesture.
The artist’s new works are increasingly dynamic as the bodies’ interrupted segments have been shifted and activated, rather than deleted. Areas of the figure are superimposed, vibrating with transitional movement rather than apprehended in static still. In other works, the pieces seem to be deteriorating before the viewer’s eyes, with the paint appearing to be flacking off the panel in true tromp l’oeil fashion. Working in everything from oil, spray paint and ink on canvas, Bullough’s paintings strike a balance between realistic figurations and stylized interruption. Disjointing the realistic elements with graphic areas and fractured or striated planes, Bullough intends to challenge the viewer’s perception.
The exhibition will be on view until March 21st, 2020.

Submitted by @petterbrorson:
Originally nine small watercolours of a walking crow, made into an animated loop. I had no intention of animating it when I painted the pictures four years ago. The nine small crow paintings were painted for an upcoming exhibition at the time. A couple of days ago I wanted to try and see what they would look like if they actually moved, and so I’ve made my very first animated painting.
