Lets just say, Definition Gallery inspired me after last week’s art opening. If you haven’t had a chance to swing by and check it out, I highly recommend you get on that. The Rock n’ Roll exhibit “Inspiration” will be on display throughout April. Trust me if you find a free minute and/or you are in Fells Point you have no excuse. The exhibit features one of a kind original Jerry Garcia pieces along with a slew of top shelf musical art pieces worthy of awe.
I had the pleasure of chatting over a beer with Thomas Noll, founder and creator of Creative Bone Artworks. Conversation sparked over arguably one of the best painted canvases I’ve ever seen. Pause, let me preface, I am extremely bias when it comes to Phish (Trey especially) and with good cause being a product of Groovy UV (U of Vermont). So it shouldn’t surprise you that I was obsessed with Thomas Noll’s canvas of Trey.
A key ingredient of art is perspective. It defines the artist as well as provides a point of reference for the audience…whether your audience is 10,000 screaming fans or a pair of naked eyes staring at a painting. Either way, Creative Bone has mastered the art (no pun intended) of capturing the peaking moment in music. Tom’s unique use of color provides a vibrant energy that you can almost hear, and yes I said hear. Now that I think about it, Creative Bone is the closest thing to scratch and listen art I’ve ever seen. Tom there’s an idea for ya.
