War Paint and the American Dream

WAR PAINT: Victor Reyes from Dylan Maddux on Vimeo.

Reyes has been one of my favorite artist for quite some time. The motion that he convey's in every stroke of his paintings really does speak to the movement and wild motion with in myself, I suppose that's how we communicate with ourselves, the act of art give form to something that other wise is just an energy ruminating in our beings.

But, from Misspelled to Reyes' new project Warpaint you can see the energy shift. Where his brush strokes were more fluid and free flowing Reye's hand seems to be more focused an determine than ever before.

I'm really excited to see what the finished pieces will look like.

And the "American Dream" I'm going to steal Dylan's blurb to describe his show 'cause I couldn't have written something better myself:

"The American Dream Project is in line with where I’m at in my life…it’s one of chaos and mayhem. The motivation was cash and gorgeous women. I loved every moment of it, although it wasn’t the end result. Now my energies need to be redirected to a new emotion.
The shots I created for this project exemplify my life at this time and this show is intended to put a cap on that. It’s all moving fast and so should I…next stop, Bangkok.”

The BUA Experience in Photos

Meeting Justin Bua is truely an experience, animated, quirky, and well versed in the french language, BUA warmly greets each one of his adoring followers with a warm hand shake smile and listens gratefully as each person tells him why his work is inspirational to them.

I missed his one man show (But Youth Outlook TV caught it)

Justin Bua's King of Pop from New America Media on Vimeo.

and the unveiling of his tribute to MJ, but I did get to check it out... and all I have to say is "Fresh!" Sucks if you weren't there, now you gotta just wait in see it, the 6 foot something Rick Ross looking security guard prevented anyone from capturing a shot of BUA's latest master piece.

I had the opportunity to get up close and in his space.

Spotted on the balcony, Mr. BUA invited me and Young Giron to observe from another angle
