A new shop, and an upcoming show
Hi everyone!
I’m happy to share two updates for the month:
Upcoming show
First, I have an upcoming show at Haven Gallery in Northport, NY opening on June 7 — featuring my latest set of city pieces. For those in the Long Island area, come check it out! (And for others, all of the art will be easily viewable for all using the power of the internet).
City of Another Time
What ever happened to the visions of the future we had a century ago? We were once promised skyscrapers towering into the sky like cathedrals, and giant airships soaring overhead. This series is inspired by the dreams of that era - notable influences such as the film Metropolis, the illustrations of Hugh Ferriss, and other historical sites that never came to be from Never Built New York.
Some of those dreams came alive in the brief window when the willpower was there, and others never came to be. This set of illustrations are inspired by the future we never had — the City of Another Time.
New Shop
This week I launched my new shop at https://shop.chrisbeckerart.com where I have 4 new original pieces available for purchase. Each original piece is hand-drawn with graphite on Ampersand Gessobord panel. I plan to keep these pieces small and affordable (for original art at least😅 ), so check it out if you’ve ever wanted to own some unique original art. Each month I’ll be dropping a new set of pieces in there, so be sure to come back to see if anything new strikes you!
(Also I’ll add if you’re looking to buy prints of my older pieces, those can be ordered from my shop on Inprnt at https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/chrisbeckerart/)
