Join us on March 30th for David Onri Anderson's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, 'Apple Core Peace Temple' at Patrick Painter Gallery in Bergamont Station, Santa Monica. Anderson's exhibition features 8 large scale paintings on raw canvas of 'Apple Cores' which together form a spiritual architecture of rhythm and pattern, color palette subtleties, light flow, uncanny doppelgänger relationships, and vibrating images from freehand lines.

My painting 'Banana Trinity Core' will be on view at Patrick Painter's booth at the LA Art Show, January 23rd-27th 2019 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Solo at Patrick Painter in February, more details to come soon!

I’m So Glad I Got My Own (Natural High) ​is a show of work that has been made over the past year that includes experimental approaches to painting and materials using intuitive processes that reference tantric art in India, musical influences such as Sun Ra, Genesis P-Orridge and Curtis Mayfield, and alchemical possibilities in colors, materials, and repeating forms. The exhibition’s title is a reference to Curtis Mayfield’s No Thing On Me (Cocaine Song):

I've met many people over the years
And in my opinion I have found that
People are the same everywhere
They have the same fears
Shed similar tears
Die in so many years

The oppressed seem to have suffered the most
In every continent - coast to coast
Now our lives are in the hands of The Pusherman
We break it all down
In hopes that you might understand
Don't make no profit for The Man
I'm so glad I've got my own

So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thing on me

There's somethin' kinda funny
How The Man take your money
He's shrewd as he can be
In such a way you'll never see
It's a terrible thing inside

When your natural high has died
The weaker turn to dope
And put all aside their hope

(chorus)
Twinkling twinkling grains
They do all sorts of things
While your inner mind is pleased
Your conscience is only teased...

More and more you feed
Until you grow another need
Playing fantasy
You have no reality

(chorus)

Sit down and take a listen
This may be something that you're missin'
I know your mind
You want it funky
But you don't have to be no junkie

(chorus)

Sure is funky
Sure is funky
I ain't no junkie
I ain't no junkie
Sure is funky
Sure is funky
I ain't no junkie
I ain't no junkie
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see...

-Curtis

In April I will be having a solo show at the Browsing Room in Nashville, TN.
The show is called HUM and will feature all new work.

I currently have a solo show up in my basement gallery called Paper Mind.
My basement gallery is called the Bijan Ferdowsi Gallery, named after my landlord.
The show will be up from November 12 to December 31, 2016.
Anyone can make an appointment to come visit at anytime, just email me to set up a time and date: dhanderson@watkins.edu

Paper Mind:

when the mind is blank
like a new piece of paper
anything can be written or drawn or folded
the sunlight can cast a new color on the paleness
and illuminate paper potential
put inside me a tea candle
and fold me into a paper lantern
i want to rest in your darkness
and light up your world

Paper Mind is a solo exhibition of new work by David Onri Anderson that primarily involves paintings that reflect on the unity of stillness and motion of the hand and mind as it makes an image or object that can become a space as well as inhabit a space. The paintings create opportunities to observe subtleties of surface, color relationship, and form as a space, as well as a depiction of a mental space in the form of a painted surface. Abstraction and representation undulate as the paintings can be read both as an abstract space and as a depiction of an image, such as a paper lantern, snowman, or apple core. The work as a whole cultivates a meditative quality to encourage a mindset of serenity and contemplation in an ever changing city where change and development can create problems as well as opportunities for locals and visitors.

the grass outside keeps growing

as surely as the sun makes a day

a day moon

hardly seen and silver

clouded, green under the shade

another day
