STUDIO VISIT - PETER GRONQUISTThursday, January 26, 2012
I had the pleasure of stopping by
Peter Gronquist's studio the other day. Maybe you've heard the name before? Undoubtedly you've seen his work. He is best known for his sculptures of gold plated high fashion guns and bazookas. Most recently he has been altering taxidermied animals, adding gold plated guns where once there were horns.
I stopped by his studio at a time when most of his most recent work was gone. But he did have a number of paintings in progress (of which he's done much longer than sculpture) and he showed me the skin gun he was working on. Yes, that's real hair in there..
And just in case you were wondering, this is what gold in molecular form looks like.
NEW STUDIO MATE!Monday, January 23, 2012
My last studio mate, miniramp, unfortunately wasn't paying his rent on time and I had to forcibly eject him from the building.
In miniramps' place? This man,
Tim Karpinksi. Welcome to the Seed Building and #112 buddy! May many good times ensue!
