The Deer Hunter. Acrylic on canvas, 16x20. 2010

Hendrix in Wonderland, Acrylic on canvas 18x24. 2010

David MacDowell was raised by a television set, and soaked in culture like a sponge. A self-taught artist, he incorporates media and social themes into brilliant and controversial satirical paintings. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, David is not afraid of tapping into the dark side of American media worship. He tops off celebrity renderings with crying babies, candy colored nightmares, and a hilariously acidic sense of humor. Some have called his work a virtual “Disneyland on acid”. By bravely peeling away the veneer of pop culture, he validates the abused underbelly of society with x-ray glasses. With an ever-expanding list of international clientele, David’s work can be found in Atlanta, California, Florida and New York and now DirtyPilot.com.

Join us in the Pilots Lounge as Dave will be showing a collection of new paintings from “MiseryLand” here at DirtyPilot.com now thru Feb. 10, 2010.

www.dirtypilot.com Presents the chalk drawings of Ellis G.

By now we have all heard about Ellis Gallagher. A native New Yorker who creates chalk etchings of shadows of everyday, urban street objects. As a former graffiti writer. he traces the shadows of objects on the street such as a bicycle propped against a fence, a tree, a lamp post. The next morning the shadow has moved, but the trace is still there, a reminder of the shadow that once was.

DirtyPilot presents photographs and editions from new work created around Historic Boston, Ma, NYC and Beyond – now thru Feb 10, 2010.
