A Wolf in the Fold: An Installation by Rick O'Brien
August 6, 2011 - October 3, 2011
Opening Reception / Aug 6, 7:00PM - 10:00PM
This new work by artist Rick O'Brien observes the sum of who we are, the fundamental elements we collectively share, and the individual experiences which showcase the unique.
It is the differences that present a perceived danger to the established norm. By creating a defense mechanism which alienates effort, we are free to admire and then condemn those attempting to better themselves. The innocent act of self exploration provides us the obstacles we must endure through life.
Human frailty and fortitude are at the heart of most of O'Brien's work. A Wolf in the Fold embodies the struggle between human ambition and toil, and the boundaries we impose.

Drawing primarily from live models (10 to 15 minute poses), I'm gettin' a head start this week...twelve down, thirty-eight to go!
My wife, 'Miss Mindy' , who was a featured artist last year, will once again be creating 50 pieces of art as well...
