Pallas Ravae Forcella

Thanks for landing on my page!

I want to get real with you. I want to open myself up to people that want to see me, and know more; what's in my mind and behind my work. 
My posts vary from progress pictures, photography, poetry, philosophical ideas, musings.

I want to engage with you, I want to know your thoughts, and I want to be seen. If you want the same and want to support my art and my life please become a patron. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

My select tier gets the most personal of the diary entries, it is for those who really want the raw.

Installations: 

I've always been interested in installation art. In college I did a couple full installs but I quickly focused on more traditional expressions of my creativity because installations are super expensive and you can't sell them so as an artist you loose money. 

But I LOVE them for their impertinence, interactive and immersive nature. About a year ago I had the opportunity to do an install with a group of people, we built for 12 hours then had an art party in the space. The next day we broke the install down. I was inspired like I hadn't been in a long time.

Since I have started a group called Luminous Giant and I'm attempting to make this a nonprofit. There are many grants available to support art exhibition, but they are only available to non-profits. Meeting my first financial goal will allow me to meet this goal.

More about me:

Most days you will find me listening to records covered in charcoal and ink in my garage often with my friends and family. When I take a break from painting I'm skating on my half-pipe.

I enter multiple shows a year, most notably the annual Num6er 6f the 6east show at Trve Brewing in Denver. Each artist must do 100 4" X 6" painting. It's insanity and if you are in Denver in November you should check it out.

I have heard the phrase "you're creepy" many times in my life in reference to my art. It use to get under my skin but I have embraced it. my art is emotional, dark, and anatomical; sometimes true to the body, often distorted. I love painting on found object, broken skateboards are my favorite because the wear and tear tell an energetic story. I feel like I kind of co-create with the skater when I leave that exposed.
I also paint giant creatures either directly on walls or on board that I cut out. I want them to be part of the space.

Thank you for becoming part of my wicked rad group of patrons!
