Distracted because of the big Hi-Fructose & Camilla d'Errico show, most people did not notice the mini show of Mark Covell last weekend at Copro Nason. I picked up this painting called "womb" that I thought was pretty cool. His color palette is quite appealing to me for some reason and this baby reminds me of Stewie from Family Guy. ![](http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/KRsleepboy/womb.jpg) Not very well known in the gallery circuit, but looking forward to seeing what else he has to offer. He did quietly sell all five of his paintings. ![](http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/KRsleepboy/playing_goddess.jpg) ![](http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/KRsleepboy/fragile.jpg)

He caught my eye as well. The middle one is crazy. Looks like that character has some other nuclear explosive...and of course is flying through the sky via rocket/missile power legs,ha! Work is reasonably priced as well. I would like to see it in person.

Yeh his color palette is very cool. I dig that "Womb" piece, good score.
I am also a sucker for rust, and there isn't many artists that incorporate that into their work. It's what first drew me to Brian Despain as well as Jason Limon.

Wow, I'm glad a lot of people like his stuff. I think his colors remind me of KMNDZ although Covell has been around for a while and the concepts are totally different. He just doesn't do much painting because he's busy with other things...look at his resume; it looks like he has a lot of stuff going on. I think these 5 paintings took him 2 years LOL since that was last time he was shown. They were picked up pretty quick though at the show, I heard an artist & a gallery owner pick up a piece one after another. I must have bad taste LOL, cuz the one I wanted was the last one left so I decided to go for it.
