Russ doing live painting in Whistler, B.C. last year. ^
Russ Pope will be joining us this Sunday night, February 3, in our TIMESINFINITY Gallery to kickoff February's showing. Hope I don't fan out on the guy! He's been instrumental in skateboarding's culture over the past 20 years... -

"When one looks at Russ's art, it is easy to see that his painting is as integral to his life and sanity as food, water, music, skateboarding and family. The rawness of his work can be felt by viewing the large brush strokes, thick lines and drippy backgrounds of many pieces. One senses music and movement through the application of color, image and brush strokes. Elements of culture, politics, animals and celebration pop out of the base of his art. It is easy to feel freedom, chaos and release when one views Russ?s pieces as a body of work?these feelings are fundamental to his life and work." --J. Bostwick (
