Boundless Brooklyn asked Chris Buzelli and SooJin Buzelli to curate an exhibit featuring 50 illustrators painting 50 water tower models. The opening is April 3rd at Kikkerland Shop on 493 6th Avenue in New York City from 6pm to 9pm.
It has been a while since breaking out the paints but it was nice to create analog art again. My tower is based on an illustration about singularity commissioned by Nautilus Magazine about the merging of Robotic and Human intelligence. The pattern in the original illustration seemed perfect for a 3 dimensional object and a nice way to dive into the deep end of the painting pool. I had forgotten the emotional connection one can have while painting. The process can be very meditative. It was a bittersweet when the tower was complete.
Please pop by the exhibit, I’m sure it you will be blown away by all the participating illustrators.
For fun, the work in progress appears after the tower:
