FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New paintings by N.C. Winters
September 10th – October 10th, 2010
Opening Reception with the Artist:
Friday, September 10th, 2010 6–10PM

About the Show: Damages is Winters’ first solo exhibition with Subtext, in which he has created a collection of paintings that interpret the feelings of disrepair, sacrifice and loss wrapped in N.C.’s definitive style. The vibrant colors, raw textures, and enchanting characters found in his work introduces his unique point of view that often incorporates the juxtaposition of disparate themes in a very graphic, yet highly illustrative approach. On view at 2479 Kettner Blvd from September 10th-October 10th, 2010, this will be Winters’ first solo show in San Diego.

About N.C. Winters: A child of the 80s, fueled by cartoons, MTV, and illustration, N.C. Winters is a painter and illustrator. He’s spent most of his life under a blazing sun, first in Phoenix and now in southern California, and it shows in the brilliant colors and rich tones of his work. Focusing mostly on the  figure—both its delicate beauty and abrasive toughness—he works in a variety of media, including watercolor, acrylic, and plain old pen and ink on paper. Some people say his work reminds them of tattoos; others say he fits in with skateboard and surf culture. But N.C. is just trying to let the pictures in his head out into the world and figure out what he wants to do when he grows up. He currently lives and works in Carlsbad, CA.
More of Winters’ work can be found at www.ncwinters.com.

About Subtext Gallery: Subtext is a gallery & bookstore located on the outskirts of downtown San Diego that showcases urban contemporary, pop surrealist, and lowbrow artists from all around the globe. Born in September 2006, Subtext took aim on San Diego’s under-served design market. After repeated trips to cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, partners Don Hollis and Dylan Jones wanted to bring some more eclectic sources of creative inspiration a little closer to home. With an inventory truly connected to all things design, Subtext aptly fills the void. As a one stop shop for design, art, architecture, photography and illustration, Subtext provides an environment dedicated to high design intended to nourish creative spirits for years to come.

…getting programmed for Damage!

September’s almost here, which means Damages, my upcoming solo show at Subtext Gallery, is right around the corner. The house is filled with artwork, and I’m burning the candle at both ends AND the middle, trying to finish it up in time for the opening on September 10th. The work is my best yet, but seems to be taking far too long!

More to come in the future, but for the time being, check out these sneak peaks from Hi-Fructose and Subtext.

…a new store section, just in time for Summer!

So I’ve finally buckled down, gotten my act together and have a shop available for purchasing art online. I’ve stocked it full of newer and older goodies, and as a special promotion, I’m offering 20% off for two weeks to get the ball rolling. Just enter the discount code “noodleknob” I’ll also have a bit of a Twitter contest, where you can retweet one particular tweet for the chance to win a piece of original artwork. Gonna put the whole networking wheels to the grind and see what we can make happen. Follow me on Twitter for all the details.

So for all those so patient enough to contact me directly for art purchases, this takes the hassle out of dealing with me and my untimely responses. You can pay via Paypal directly through the site, which is accessed from the link at the top of the page, or right here, if you’re being lazy. I’m including free shipping on all domestic purchases, because I’m just that kind of guy. I’ll be updating the site at least semi-regularly with some new smaller works available exclusively through the store, as a way to keep me painting and keep art available for an affordable price. Many of my smaller drawings and tiny paintings will end up here, for your purchasing pleasure. Stay tuned!
