Come join us for the Art On First Friday featuring the art of Clay Newton! I’ll exhibiting a new series of pictures I’ve been working on, and The Deadlies will be performing!

I’m naming the series of work I’ve done for this show after this blog, Automagical Realism. The stuff I have been posting & reblogging is really the content that has been shaping the way I think about aesthetics and culture lately. It’s been exciting to draw from this crazy well of content.

Here’s my statement for the show:

The imagery that fills my life is transient, yet steeped with concrete meaning. I create images daily which convey concepts and information in the most crisp, objective fashion. In design, the friction of information transfer is a risk. These are off-ramps: points where people can abandon your message.

This friction is an agent of entropy.

In my recent prints, I have sought to exploit and enhance this friction.

I’m focused on repurposing imagery to riff on their symbology. The source materials I work with are both obvious & obscure. Using recycled paper, spray paint and stencils, I draw from the economy, abstraction and style of street art to provoke new meaning with each viewing of these pictures.
