    TY DAVIS
    Author / Writer; Musician; Poet; Visual Artist: Drawing Illustration; Visual Artist: Mixed Media; Visual Artist: Painting
    My work is a testimony of the desire to express feelings that can’t be described through words. Most artists see themselves as the ones expressing, I see myself as one who is a medium, allowing the mediums and colors express themselves in this world. I wish to give the viewer a glimpse into a world without form and definition. A world where anything goes and nothing is restrained. My art is a play on Duality. An up versus down, left versus right, black versus white, dance that never ends.

  • Jason Kendall

    Author / Writer; Director; Film Maker; Musician; Producer; Teacher / Instructor; Visual Artist: Drawing Illustration; Visual Artist: Installation; Visual Artist: Mixed Media; Visual Artist: Photography
    Kendallprojects was founded in late 1999 in response to the status of a project that I was working on during the first semester of my senior year at Ringling. The Arthor Suger projects needed to develop into a broader, more inclusive way of presenting my ideas. When each work became it’s own production under the heading, work by, “artist” Jason Kendall, with help from others, it made sense to put each endeavor under the heading “kendallprojects”. Since it’s official inception in 2000 with the launching of a rudimentary website that laid out the brief history of the projects, it has expanded to include a wider variety of both work and persons involved. Do to the nature of the medium of performance documentation, it was important for me to have people assist with the projects that I trusted, were proficient in their area of expertise, understood and shared the same vision for the work as I did.

  • Karl L. Larsen
    Karl L. Larsen
    Author / Writer; Visual Artist: Installation; Visual Artist: Mixed Media; Visual Artist: Painting; Visual Artist: Sculpture / Pottery; Visual Artist: Murals
    Karl L. Larsen is an artist and author based out Austin, Texas and his hometown of Columbia, South Carolina. Following the release of his keystone literary publication (W a n t., 2011), a steady array of visual art has followed. Aside from his book, Larsen is also largely known locally for the facilitation of multiple Before I Die Wall installations, including Columbia’s Main Street (2013) and West Columbia’s Riverwalk (2015). These giant interactive public art installations gave way to more abstract public projects. In 2016, as Columbia’s Famously Hot New Year marquee artist for the second consecutive year, Larsen unleashed madness on Main Street with ‘Channel-Surfing Couch Potatoes’. The abstract installation drew thousands, wowing revelers a contemporary twist to 2016’s strangest events while also paying homage to the artists, musicians, athletes and movie stars lost during the calendar year. Aiming to offer an experience to those who view his art, Larsen draws most of his inspiration from graffiti and street art and the profound effect it can have on one stumbling into art unexpectedly. With the use of vibrant colors, inanimate object placement and often subliminal messages, he’s able to manipulate any public space for interpretive consumption. Following the success of ‘O D O M E T E R’, his 2017 collection of abstract landscapes inspired by his travels, Larsen excavates his own mind for a bazaar collection of his most recent abstract mixed media paintings entitled, ‘Untethered’ – currently in exhibition. Karl is currently working as a studio artist in downtown Columbia. Past venues include the Richland County Library, Kershaw County Library, Gallery 80808, Frame of Mind, 701 Whaley, Columbia Development Corporation, Tapp’s and in 2016, the Riker Studio in New York City. His style varies but remains mostly abstract, ranging from visual art and fashion to publishing. By incorporating many elements of mixed media and a “no rules” approach, this form of unrestricted expression allows him to go about his work without any preconceived notion to guide his hand during the creative process. THE ARTIST:    Karl L. Larsen is an artist and author based out of Columbia, South Carolina. Following the release of his keystone literary publication, W a n t., 2011, a steady array of visual art has followed. Aside from his book, Larsen is also largely known locally for the facilitation of multiple ‘Before I Die Wall’ installations, including Columbia’s Main Street, 2013 and West Columbia’s River Walk, 2015. The River Walk BID Wall was recorded as the single largest in the entire world. These giant interactive public art installations gave way to more abstract public projects. In 2016, as Columbia’s Famously Hot New Year marquee artist for a second consecutive year, Larsen unleashed madness on Main Street with ‘Channel-Surfing Couch Potatoes’. This abstract installation attracted thousands, wowing revelers a contemporary twist to 2016’s strangest events while also paying homage to the artists, musicians, athletes and movie stars lost during the calendar year.    Following the success of his ‘Odometer’ exhibition, 2017, Larsen excavated his own mind for a bazaar collection of abstractions for ‘Untethered’, 2018. He continues to test himself with abstract and conceptual work with mixed media, paint and sculpture. A few past venues include the Richland County Library, Kershaw County Library, Gallery 80808, Frame of Mind, Tapp’s Arts Center and in 2016, the Riker Studio in New York City. Karl has also exhibited work in Sooke, British Columbia. His style varies but remains mostly abstract, ranging from visual art and fashion to publishing. By incorporating many elements of mixed media and a “no rules” approach, this form of unrestricted expression allows him to go about his work without any preconceived notion to guide his hand during the creative process. His most recent mural can be found in West Columbia’s new Art Park, his second mural and third major art project with the City of West Columbia.   Larsen’s work varies from studio paintings, collaborative projects, design, murals and sculpture.   Website : Wantthebook.com Instagram: @karl.l.larsen Shop: http://karlllarsen.bigcartel.com

    It appears that I have always pursued my creative propensities. For as long as I can remember I have always sketched on various surfaces (Some of them with and many without permission.) My earliest formal teacher (Art Instructor, Mrs. Barbara Townsend, Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School), squeezed creativity out of me sneakily. Before I realized what was going on I had volunteered my service for many school projects. Fortunately, she graded all my construction help around school as extra credits. That always kept me working and that was an important step in guiding my interest. She knew that I would not turn her down when she needed something done. It was all practice without her hands-on instructions. However, it wasn’t until my next Professor (J. Craig Greene – Art Professor: Chowan College, Murfreesboro, NC) began to get into my head that I started to really think about what was actually going on with a canvas. It was a question that did not rest well with me at first. That question is too personal to repeat but I pray that other professors are as good with their inspirational techniques with students. Great art can only begin to take shape when an artist realizes who he is. And, that was the essence of his motivation. It took me almost thirty-two years to realize that I am a lost soul saved by Christ Jesus. My energy now is focused on pleasing HIM. Now a simple piece of blank paper, a pencil/ink-pen and creating something with meaning in it is more satisfying than almost anything. Most of my work today is with the simplest media, a reminder to me that God turn anything into beauty.

    Bruce was born with a strong connection to the greatest power in the universe, known as the “Imagination Force”. This grants him the ability to bring anything he writes or sketches to life using whatever traditional or digital tools are at his disposal. Not only can he breathe life into his imaginative machinations, but he can also breathe life into the ideas of anyone who comes in contact with him. ­ His connection to the “Imagination Force” grew as he got older and unlocked several other abilities such as Ultra Focus; which creates a pocket dimension around him that allows him to concentrate intensely on a singular goal devoid of human distractions, Milestone Might; allows him to slow downtime in order to complete projects ahead of deadlines, and Cosmic Caliber; which ensures all of his creations are of high quality. He honed his skills over the years knowing that one day he would one day be called upon to save the world from the villain Master Conformity as he and his army of Energy Reavers seek to drain the planet of its creativity, and control the Imagination Force.
