Cars In A Circle

Winter 2017

SEASON is very proud to present CARS IN A CIRCLE, the first solo show of paintings on the west coast by Andy Heck Boyd.  Andy’s work is motivated in part by his paranoid schizophrenia and delusions of hearing the voices of satan.  These burdens have led Andy to multiple college drop outs, and forced him to become self-taught.  Pulling from numerous aesthetics and styles, his work ranges from short novellas, comics, film, photography and painting.  SEASON is excited to present a collection of acrylic portraits and still lifes, with an opening reception on Sunday January 15, 2-5 pm.  The show will continue to March 31.

“It is snowing.  I am in my room with my back to the window, listening.

 How do I tell you what I can hear?  I have to make a type of mental translation of physical things into words.  I will try.  It is quiet.  I am not trying to capture a type of reality as I experience it through my mind, but I am trying to capture a mood.  It is quiet behind me, to my right music is playing.  Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf is playing on my computer.  Behind me, down the street a vehicle’s engine, or maybe tires are spinning in the blanket of white powder.  It is not very bright out for ten past eight in the morning.  I keep the lamp on my desk lit.”
