New Album in conjunction with the LONDON TOXIC label 2024!
This album is a rare compilation of beats made over the years. The sound quality of some of the tracks might differ since some were recorded live and in different formats. All in All, this should be a delightful musical journey into the mind of Houston’s most excentric producer.
The Wonderful world of Reuven Wallack here is a little peek into his mind!
It’s funny. In some ways I’ve made a complete circle regarding my attitude towards creating
art. Back in 1998 when I first started painting, my interest in psychoanalysis led me to paint
quite quickly and then analyze and find unconscious imagery that came out of the deep
recesses of my mind. Now over 20 years later, my newest work which I believe to be my best
yet falls along similar lines. They consist mostly of color pencil drawings. While doing this
work, I don’t think. That’s right…I don’t think. Well for the most part, I don’t. Sometimes I
pause and think about compositional matters or specific color choice or most overall when
there is a specific object to be drawn. But other than these fleeting matters, I’m drawing from
as near I can from the unconscious. No decisions, no thought, just where the pencil takes me.
This I find to be extremely liberating and produces work which many times turns out to be quite
complex, but in reality I’m producing them in auto-drive like the cars of the future.
Michael Richard Thron (born 1990) in Stamford CT, currently is an MFA Graduate student at the University of Maryland, College Park and received his BFA from Syracuse University. His practice investigates materiality, entropy, and negative space as a material and tangible component. Through gathering, manipulation, and replication his work acts as a conduit to examine the evolution of the self, exploring this through sculpture. He is a reward recipient of The Mid-Atlantic Sculpture Prize and Daniel Ohlke Award as well has been a resident artist at Salem Art Works and has exhibited in the US and abroad.
Heshka’s artistic production is undeniably influenced by the stylistic expression of the pulp magazines and B movies that have always fascinated him; he shares, “The overall theme that weaves all the work together is the celebration of individuality, and celebrating our individual weirdness, quirks, the things that make us who we are. The political climate, the actual climate, and questions about privacy and reality have been heavy on my mind this year. I didn’t necessarily want to do a show that literally explored these themes, but rather has these themes drive my exploration of individual freedom and the evolution and shift of our relationships with each other as we continue to race forward. The show itself has split three ways: a) the original art from Mean Girls Club: Pink Dawn, b) the debut of my new comic book, Frog Wife (with a new print and a large oil painting and art from the comic book), and c) a series of new paintings. The narratives in all these works vary, but there is a thread of rebellion, of flipped or evolved stereotypes and turning figures inside out to reveal an inner self. The show started as an excuse to exhibit my comic book art, but soon took on a life of its own.”
