THE DESTRUCTION OF SHECHEM From the series “In the TIme of the Judges” // Mixed media oilgraph on wooden panel // 33x33 As the story goes, the evil character Abimelek rose to power after murdering all seventy of his brothers in a single day. As time past the people of Shechem rose against him and then he and his murderous thugs burnt the city to the ground salting the earth behind them. This is one of his men. I haven’t done new work in this series for quite some time but this is one that has been calling me ever since we shot it. Costume was custom made and we lit the torches for the shot. The actor is my friend TJ and was the perfect badass for this part. #mixedmedia #war #bookofjudges #fire #oilpaintings #oilgraph #biblical #artoftheday #artofinstagram #kevinrolly #kevissimo https://www.instagram.com/p/ClSFaluvs2i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mixed Media oilgraph with acrylic, graphite and gunpowder on wooden panel // 10x12 From the new series ‘The Spirit of Ukraine’ Being over half Ukrainian and Russian I take the war in Ukraine personally. In this continuing series I hope to capture the both the strength and vulnerability of the Ukrainian people. The textures were created by igniting gunpowder on the surface of the panel and burning into the print itself. It’s an uncontrollable process and the explosion chooses its own direction. Just like war itself.
