"The Ghost" is the September show at White Walls, the artist is Richard Colman. Some great stuff including the huge bear sculpture, inquire for price

It's listed for $12,000 on the website, everything is rather pricey

Colman explains
Well the idea for the ghost sort of started out because my paintings tend to Have a lot of the old sketches on the panels before I finally get to the Image that I like and they have a ghost-like quality to them. Then as I Thought more about the title the ghost, I started to think about some of my Own feelings of being detached from my life, physically there but not really Present, you know? I have become increasingly busier in the past few years So I've been feeling sort of like I have been disappearing from my own life, So the show sort of has a lot to do with that I guess.

The characters in this set of paintings are sort of being swallowed up by The compositions, even becoming the composition. The end result represents The transition or metamorphosis of the character, changing into something Completely different from what they physically are.

More pics, entire set
