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.  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.   |

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. |
