Dance Until The Sun Comes Up; feat. DJ Knight
In July of 2023 I had the opportunity to showcase my artwork in one of the galleries at the Art Gym in Denver Colorado. It was my first time creating enough work to fill a whole gallery, and my last chance to showcase my work before moving out of Colorado where I have lived all of my life.
The series of paintings are inspired by the music that reminds me of my childhood, and and the track that was mixed by my Dad, DJ KNIGHT. Each piece of work is named with the time stamp that matches up to the track "Dance Until The Sun Comes Up". Scan the QR code to bring the song up on Soundcloud, and listen to the part of the song that each piece is inspired by. Enjoy!
“This show is a blend of abstract pieces, inspired by music that I’ve come to love. My dad's taste in music heavily influenced my creative process while I also branched out of my normal style of art and experimented with abstract concepts. My Dad is a DJ and has been since I was little. I grew up hearing about how we had turntables before a dining room table when I was a baby, which says a lot about how much my family loves music. It has been so much fun using dance music as an inspiration for my art, and nothing feels better as an artist than to combine my Dad's passions, in tandem with my own, to create one masterpiece. Each art piece is accompanied by the time stamp from the track Dance Until the Sun Comes Up, mixed by my father, himself. The viewers can experience the trancing sensation of the songs that drove me to choose each color, texture, and visual representation, with intention. Enjoy the scenery and the sounds, and by all means, Dance Until the Sun Comes Up.”
