Craola - It Wanders

August 29th, 2008 by Meg Smith

Craolas beinArt GalleryPress Release:

Greg "Craola" Simkins will be revealing his newest body of artwork entitled, It Wanders, which brings elements from the natural world into concert with the fantastic and the disturbing and is the culmination of the underlying story of heartache, loss and redemption as seen in Simkins' previous exhibitions. In this world, a boy sits in his newly demolished home, dreaming of his escape. Messenger candles from the Baron dot the land. Good fruits accompany moths and butterflies, while snowmen befriend various birds and creatures from the menagerie of Simkins' imagination. The alchemist's eggs appear as vessels containing new life spilling out of their cracked surfaces, while clouds containing the secrets of time's past fill the sky.

Part One of this amazing collection will begin as It Wanders East on September 6, 2008 at Joshua Liner Gallery in New York.  This will be Simkins' first solo exhibition on the East Coast. Part Two of the It Wanders exhibition will conclude as It Wanders West on November 6, 2008 at Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight in Los Angeles where Simkins first began displaying his masterpieces.

Greg 'Craola' Simkins is one of 50 Artists featured in our second publication entitled Metamorphosis 2.
