Here Gar Bailey is standing with one of his 2009 painted masterpieces at his home in (n)Osteen, FL. Hopefully this image helps to illustrate the scale and immense detail involved with this particular w3rk of gART. Painted in the Summer of 2009, this piece took Gar a considerable amount of time to complete, working non-stop for like 4-6 days a week from April - August of 2009.

So this is a painting I have been w3rking on for the past 2 weeks. At first I wasn’t so keen on it, but after w3rking it and then rew3rking it for a few sessions.. the painting did eventually begin to grow on me. Tis odd how sometimes the pieces of aRt that start out kinda crummy-looking can end up being some of my better artw3rk in the end. -The ol’ ugly duckling which grows into the swan scenario.

So do ya wanna see a little bit of ol’ Gar B. in action?.. well peep this video here and get a tiny peek into my w3rld of shamanic pigment combustion!

“Building Blocks Fish For The Sun In Vain”

Iin other decent news: I’ve been feeling pretty inspired artistically, w3rking hard almost everyday, & doing some quality painting as of late. So keep yer eyes peeled and I’ll surely try to get some more stuff posted here for everybody to view and absorb.

On Thursday night, January 29th, 2009…
2 artists and friends completed a monumentally cool, 8ft wide mural in a span of roughly 4 hours. The American Neo-Surrealist painter by way of Osaka, Japan named: DAAS and myself..
the Neo-Dada Maximalist uberstar - Gar Bailey layed down the pigmented law in front the local patrons of Caffe daVinci in historical downtown Deland, FLorida.

DAAS + GAR * Live Painting In Deland On 1/29/09

That’s right campers.. This utter rarity of occurrence, and real-time synergistic creative act is going on Thursday Night / January 29th, 2009 from about 8PM - 12AM ish at Caffe daVinci’s in Deland, Florida.

The American painter by way of Osaka, Japan called DAAS is only on this side of the great orb for a short bit per annual planetary orbit. -So he and myself planned on making the most of it, and we’ve put together an ample-sized 8ft x 4ft masonite surface to paint on in front of all who wish to see. This surface is firmly attached to a wooden framed backing, and is smoother than a baby’s backside. We may also be enlarging video’d close-ups of us painting, through a projector for a greater cerebral and ocular enjoyment. The finished w3rk will also be put up for sale upon completion or at a later date/group show in the daVinci’s gallery.

And so now it’s on like Donkey Kong! Please come check out what is sure to be a highly memorable evening and surely a one of a kind piece of artw3rk. Which is going to come to life right before your eyes by two of the most talented contemporary painters to ever come out of the sunshine state. I’ll also be DJing stellar tunes and grooves to paint, chill, and party to all evening long. I’ve got an extra tasty playlist cue’d up especially for this one! Get it on baby!..

-> DAAS and GAR’s 2009 Live Painting Bonanza of Human Expression.

Don’t look back and say you missed this live painting event, if you have the opportunity to be there.

It’s gonna be sick.

Peace.
