This Saturday at the Blue Bottle Gallery Brian Flynn and Martin Ontiveros put together a show entitled “Killing You Softly with Our Song”. The show features silk screen prints and custom turn wood pieces by Brian. While Martin works with acrylic on water color paper. We borrowed a few pictures of the pieces that you can see after the jump but you can view the rest of the art here, which is also available to purchase for those who are on the special preview list.
Martin and Brian don’t draw the heroes they draw the bad guys. They can’t get enough of giant monsters, ghosts, robots, the characters that play the villain. Both artists pull their imagery from similar genres sources where the character they connect with is the destructive element within the scene. In “Killing you softly with our song” Brian and Martin alter the context of their beloved characters and bring to light their more admirable qualities.
