I wear my headphones at night

Come one, come all to Flower Pepper Gallery on Saturday, November 8th, for the opening of our new group exhibition, For the Love of Music, curated by Urban Vinyl Daily! For The Love of Music is a collection of works dedicated to the soundtracks of our lives, featuring 12" x 12" pieces inspired by classic album covers. Each piece is sized to represent the quintessential 12" album jacket, portraying precisely how each of these artistic interpretations would appear in production as album art. Music has inspired all of us in some form or another whether it be via a favorite musician, song, or album, there is something beautiful that happens that surpasses all and stimulates creativity. Through history music has greatly inspired and informed artists and we hope that this nice juxtaposition of art and music inspires you! Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media. Jeremiah Ketner's paintings are instantly recognizable amongst his contemporaries in the pop surrealism movement. His early work, characterized by mischievous sprites and whimsical patterns, has evolved into lush, richly colored environments inhabited by a cast of pensive, dreamy young women. Each character presents a unique brand of beauty, created entirely within Jeremiah's imagination and painted completely from memory. The sprites (which grace the walls of Nordstrom department stores nationwide) still appear as inspiration for custom wooden and vinyl toys. Bringing a three-dimensional surface to life is one of Jeremiah's favorite challenges; the intricate, colorful one-of-a-kind creatures are immensely popular amongst his collectors.
