Brent Amacher State Farm presents Tyson Pickerel's "Things People Probably Shouldn’t Be Talking About"!
A
book, some pens, markers and a few cans of spray paint all packed into a
grey shoulder bag is not only a portable studio it is a way of life.
With his portable studio Pickerel has been capturing the conversations
and happenings around him and interpreting it into small 4 by 6 visual
explosions with dual meanings that no two people will ever read the
same.
All
are snippets from conversations Pickerel is overhearing or in the
middle of. Drawing inspiration from his graffiti background these
smaller pieces are almost like photographs or snap shots that someone
has taken at a party full of derelicts. These small intense pieces have
sprouted out of words and fallen onto the page in sometimes a crude
manner but will having you wondering what on earth was being overheard.
Pickerel’s
work is dark, funny and entertaining. Intricate attention to detail,
emotion and expression can be felt across the selection of mixed media
pieces that will be on display at 2319 California Ave SW
throughout the month of August.
