The Strange Art of BaM! (Bruce Bachelder and Mike Rende)
Bruce and I are currently scheduled to have a gallery show at the Martini Room in Elgin starting on Wednesday, December 12th, 2012. The details are not yet listed on their site, but will be visible when their December calendar of events is posted here: http://www.martiniroomelgin.com/events–specials.html
This will be a show of our smaller paintings and will be priced at affordable prices for your last-minute holiday shopping.
In October 2011, Bruce had a show at SpaceTaste Gallery in Elgin, IL showcasing both his solo work and some collaborative pieces done with indie comic artist Joe Chiappetta. This gallery shows most of the work that was in that show.
Several years ago we tried to get together every Wednesday night to make art. I had just been sketching because I didn’t had the time to devote to a large painting. Then it struck me that I should try to make smaller paintings that can be finished in just a night.
These are the best of that effort.
