Modern Art Painting: Mysterious Island

Abstract painting "Mysterious Island", acrylic painting on gallery canvas, 24" x 24", 2009. Inspired by trying to creat a loose fluid cubist style.

Painting at the ArtBar

I did the "Open Canvas" live painting show at ArtBar in Riverwest on Sunday, and did some improv with a little cubist and graffiti fusion. Thanks for everyone that came out!

Graffiti inspiration in the Agency

The savvy creatives at Digitas opened up a new office in Texas, and asked me for a super-sized print of my painting Eeek! 2 for their lobby. I wonder which came first, the wall color or my painting? You can see the painting on my online gallery.

Painting: Cubist Madonna with Child

I've always had a passion for cubism and cubist paintings so I tried exploring cubist themes a little. This was inspired in part by a Picasso cubist painting of mother and child. I like surprising myself with new paintings.

Gallery Show at the Intercontinental Hotel in Milwaukee

I've been running a show in the main gallery at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Milwaukee, featuring ten of my paintings. The show will be running until mid/late January 2008. The hotel also features some cool upscale restaurants and cocktail lounges including Kil@wat, Clear, and Zen Den. You can view some pictures from this show and previous shows at billoneil.com
