  • Announcing ArtWorks, a benefit for Arts Gowanus

    As many of you are aware, my studio is located in the Brooklyn Industrial neighborhood Gowanus, named after the infamous creek/canal called Gowanus (once upon a time it was a salt marsh estuary/creek, but it has been a rather filthy industrial canal for at least the past 150 years).  We have a vibrant community of artists…

    The featured painting of the week is back after a short hiatus.  This week we have “Bonsai in Bloom,” a painting in acrylic I created in 2010.  The painting is 30 inches wide (about 76cm) and 24 inches tall (60cm).  It is available for sale and is listed in my Square store.  Of course, if you…

  • Project: 365

    Project: 365

    Back in October, I started a new, year-long project to document my ongoing practice of visual exploration.  I think of this exploration as central to the work of the artist.  I’m calling the project simply “365” and the end result (to the extent that a project like this ever ends) will be 365 small watercolors presented at this…

  • New Etsy listings are up tonight!

    I’ve added several pieces to my “Figureworks” collection in my Etsy store: works featuring the human form. First up is an interesting painting I created mid-2010 (it seems like yesterday) titled “Lovesick Android.” Lovesick Android was composed with acrylic paint on wood panel.  The gold and silver acrylic paints really stand out in an interesting…

    In keeping with the theme of the week,  I’ve chosen “Skandha 1 (Torso 1)”, a part of my figurative series, as this week’s feature. You’ll recall that I featured Skandha 3 a few weeks ago.

  • Featured Painting of the Week: ‘Camperdown Pareidolia’

    Featured Painting of the Week: ‘Camperdown Pareidolia’

    This week’s featured painting is titled “Camperdown Pareidolia.” Completed late in 2010, this painting was a transitional piece between what I was doing throughout most of 2010 (for example Calamus I, completed in early 2010) and the sort of work I starting doing in 2011 and beyond. “Camperdown Pareidolia” is 24″ (approx. 60cm) by 30″…

  • Featured painting of the week

    This week’s featured painting is Manomayakaya #1 (Guardians at the well of percipience), a painting I created in 2011.  It is among the earliest (perhaps even the first) of the square canvases I’ve done. This piece is ‘mixed media’ — in this case acrylic and oil on canvas. It is currently for sale.  You can…

  • The newly redesigned website is now live!

    I’ve been very busy over the last couple of weeks with a complete redesign of my website.  I decided to get back to basics and code the site myself.  Admittedly this was a chore, but I think the results were worth the effort. My principal concern with this iteration of the website was to make…

  • New items for sale through Etsy

    I’ve been busy over the past month preparing items for sale in my Etsy store.  If you haven’t checked out the “ZephyrusArts” store yet, now’s a good time to do it.  I typically offer smaller, more affordable works on paper on Etsy.  Many of my smaller figurative (male nudes, almost invariably) pieces appear here, and…
