I stumbled across the wonderfully lush & disturbing work of Maine-based painter Timothy Powers Wilson while in San Francisco over the weekend. Enjoy.

Really digging Tristram's work. A nice mixture of made up environments and real life structures.

Ben Wilson Paints Discarded Chewing Gum
Over the past seven years, Ben Willson has painted and estimated 10,000 pieces of chewing gum on the streets of London and elsewhere in Europe. Inspired by city living where there are oportunities to turn refuse into something completely new and interesting again, and the fact that there is nothing illegal about such an acitvity, Ben uses a blow torch to heat the gum, adds laquer then uses layers of acrylic enamel. He has become somewhat of a celebrity adding a bit of color and happiness to the grey streets of London, as told by news reports and short documentaries covering his work. You can see those at these palces: BBC & NYtimes. And a gallery of his work, here.
Brian Leo
I met Brian last month at Art Chicago after stopping to take in his overwhelming (and constantly rotating) installation of paintings a few isles down from our booth. Falling in love with his ridiculous imagery, I couldn’t help pick up a mini silkscreened version of Dustbuster Cat for myself.
Tyson Anthony Roberts, Painter
"As I visualize the world around me morphing into fragments of digitized color, the abstract harmony of our environment simultaneously resists. Our ecosystems change, our environments change and we change. I believe my job as a painter is to capture this change as it is occurring. In my work, elements of abstract layering, color theory and spontaneity are merged to form rural and urban scenes that appear to be in constant transition, taking the viewer from what was to what may be. It is through this idea of continual movement that my paintings suggest the places we know are always changing, whether we are ready for them to or not... "
