Fighting Ghosts Skateboard DeLeva





Fighting Ghosts, Acrylic on skate deck,  31" x 8" x .25", 10/2016 SOLD


I have been painting skateboards now for about  6 months. I have created about 8, they have been fun but it seems maybe they have run their course.

My printing job allows me the opportunity to do a lot of self reflection, watching prints pass in front of you and roll up on a take up core for hours on end can be quite challenging if you don't have anything to think about or if you lack an imagination.

Anyway, my point is after a lot of thought and revaluation of my last 3 years of art I have realized my painting direction lacks a focus. While skateboards were fun I realized that for my work to be more effective I should focus more on the message then the medium.

DeLeva at Confluence Gallery

Intimacy, Selected Group Exhibition @ the Confluence Gallery, Twisp. February 24 - April 18,  Twisp Washington. Opening Reception February 28   Curators Marcy Stamper and Robin Doggett Also featuring Perri Howard in a solo exhibition. Intimacy. It’s a term that encompasses a complex range of relationships and emotions. We have intimate relationships with children, spouses, friends, and lovers. Many of us feel a keen sense of intimacy with ourselves, with an animal, or with a place that holds special significance. A sense of intimacy could be inspired by music, by a work of art, or by nature. Although intimacy is universal, it is also a highly individual experience that is – by nature –private and secret. Intimacy can describe a sense of personal space, or of nakedness and unmasking, with layers removed. And although it can feel intense or even tangible, the essence of intimacy – like with many emotions – can be hard to capture. 1.The Bond :oil on panel, 8"x8", 2025 2.Comm...
