#brianadamdouglas

Brooklyn artist Brian Adam Douglas, aka Elbow Toe, has spent the last decade building a global reputation  for wheat pastes of his distinctive woodcuts, stencils, charcoal drawings, and collages. Launched in 2015 to spotlight the creativity of the Gainesville area, the 352walls project turned to Elbow Toe in 2016 to create a work for the north wall of now shuttered SW 1st St establishment Market Street Pub. Proving that good things come in small packages he spent four days using acrylic paint on an aluminum panel to create this urban masterpiece of his wife “transforming a public space into a stage for private moments.”  @elbowtoe​  @352walls  @streetartcities​

Day 4, the structure is complete. A late night of sewing tonight, then attaching the skin. It's a stellar show, extremely eclectic, and flows wonderfully. #art #artoninstagram #fineart #sculpture #install #framing #chelsea #svastreetsmart #svagalleries #svachelseagalleries #svaalumni #svanyc #artist #artistsofinstagram #brooklynartist #brianadamdouglas #elbowtoe #elbowtoestudio #newyork #newyorkcity #instagram #artlife (at SVA Chelsea Gallery)

Second day of install. It's going much faster than I expected. Still much sewing to go. It's so wonderful to finally be able to take the structure in as a whole piece rather than having to pan around it. #art #artoninstagram #fineart #sculpture #install #framing #chelsea #svastreetsmart #svagalleries #svachelseagalleries #svaalumni #svanyc #artist #artistsofinstagram #brooklynartist #brianadamdouglas #elbowtoe #elbowtoestudio #newyork #newyorkcity #instagram #artlife (at SVA Chelsea Gallery)

Art and life are all about experience. I've never sewn before. I am diving headfirst into a crash course in sewing starting today. 15 yards of seams. And whipstitching all the edges. Terrified, but so excited to learn. First stop of the morning, 38th street in the Garment District to get needles, thread, shears and pins. #art #artlife #fineart #contemporaryart #learning #sewing #selfeducation #education #fiberart #sculpture #painting #drawing #architecture #printmaking #studio #elbowtoestudio #brianadamdouglas #garmentdistrict #nyc #newyork (at Garment District, Manhattan)
