The opening of artist Ryan McLennan's original paintings titled From Fur To Bone was yet another reason to leave the house in the name of culture and art. Held at the BLK/MRKT Gallery the show was a breath of fresh air from all the "skate art" I have been seeing as of late. McLennan's original paintings had a deep and what I interpreted to be a violent theme of the balance between wildlife and nature. Done within a slight playful way with Elk and Moose battling with raccoons and skunks over what would appear to be a stuffed teddy bear made of leaves.
It was refreshing to go to an art opening that wasn't so much of a fashion show and more about the art. I only wish I had the scratch to be able to buy a piece as I really loved the work. The show runs from April 5th through May 10 so I highly suggest dropping by the BLK/MRKT gallery and take a peek. Here are a few snaps of some of my favorites.
