Warp in Reality
(S2IK theory )
THE IMAGES THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE ARE A DEPARTURE FROM NORMAL FOR ME. THAT IS IF YOU CAN CALL ANY THING I DO NORMAL.
THESE IMAGES ARE MY ATTEMPT TO PUT IN TO A VISUAL FORM THE RANDOM MATHMATICAL INFLUENCES IN NATURE
in nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. these inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. they are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. it is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. this principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created.
the universe is created by a thought consciousness which manifests in physical reality through a geometric blueprint that which I call

David Vega :: Broken Heartworks (Oct 8 ~ Nov 7 )
DAVID VEGA aka SHEK
ARTIST biography
Born in 1981
and raised in the Mexican-American working-class neighborhoods of the
South Side of San Antonio, Texas, David “Shek” Vega has been an
active street artist for over 12 years; in the last six years, he has
been a presence in the local art community. The self-taught artist has
been commissioned by corporations to produce large-scale mural works,
while his more refined mixed media pieces – highly influenced and
informed by graffiti materials and technique – have gained the attention
of and garnered praise from collectors, curators, and gallerists. His
artistic style has its origins in the incredible underground art subculture,
but has earned its credibility in contemporary gallery culture.
ARTIST statement
The graffiti
art form is often negatively characterized as criminal and destructive,
but I found, early on, that painting afforded me a creative outlet through
which I was able to confidently develop a legitimate identity as an
artist – in spite of the pressures of gangs and gang-related activity
prevalent throughout the working class neighborhoods of San Antonio
in the mid-‘90s. Graffiti was my singular form of expression, and
opened up a dialogue between me and my community that continues to this
day through my artwork.
My subject matter
has always been those familiar, accessible things of everyday life in
my neighborhood, in my community, in my culture – those seemingly
commonplace people, places, and situations that are so frequently overlooked
or taken for granted, but can and should be recognized as really remarkable
things with so much potential for greatness. I am proud of and I am
inspired by where I come from, and my work documents feelings, moments,
or specific images that define me in terms of self and community.
Day of the Dead Rockstars
A fine and graphic artist, Carlos Hernandez finds his Day of the Dead Rock Stars work allows him the ability to merge his love of music and his Hispanic culture. When he was younger, Hernandez was fascinated with the paper machA(c) skeletons from Mexico and whimsical depictions of their daily lives. Later he realized that these were images from a[euro]oeDAa de los Muertosa[euro] memorializing the dead and there achievements while on earth. a[euro]oeI thought, a[euro]~What a great tradition, man!a[euro](TM) I wanna do that one day,a[euro] Hernandez said. After receiving a design degree from Texas Tech University, Carlos Hernandez moved to Houston, Texas from his hometown of good ola[euro](TM) Lubbock, Texas (Home of Buddy Holly) and pursued work as a graphic artist, while continuing his a[euro]oeart worka[euro]. One of his career highlights has been his work with childhood idol and hot rod legend, Ed a[euro]oeBig Daddya[euro] Roth, on a line of T-shirts. In addition to his work with Roth, Hernandez has also served as Art Director and Artist for various apparel companies. Hernandez has also made a name for himself in the Houston music scene as the original drummer for the Flaming Hellcats.
I love the idea of bringing the dead and living together in a very unique way. The music of some of my favorite musicians who have passed away has been an awesome inspiration to me and what better way to celebrate their existence.
