I had the pleasure of shooting the opening of Jason Edward Davis’s solo exhibit “Love of Monsters” at Gigantic Gallery here in Portland last night. It’s amazing!
“Jason spent the past year documenting his relationship to horror films and it came out cuter than one could possibly imagine. His in depth examination of these films reveals them for what they really are and has taught him at least one thing about the face of fear… it has whiskers.”I’m no art critic, and I know nothing of painting. I can’t tell you anything about Jason’s technique or style, but I can tell you that you should see the show. It’s just the right combination of adorable and creepy. It’s terrifyingly cute!
In addition to a portrait of the artist, I’ve included some painting details. Want to see the rest? Go see for yourself! (If you’re not local, feel free to check out more on Jason’s Tumblr, or buy one some online from Gigantic.)
