Inspiration for their Dual Duel:
"Vita Somnium Breve, or Life is But a Dream.
Rather than the woodblock as the medium which transfers the final image, the matrix became the vessel to embody Roulette’s painting. " ~Travis Lawrence
"Travis and I discussed the moments where our unfamiliar memories dance around our minds like the spiral of gold and periodically remind us of the divine nothing. As our physical bodies move forward towards finite, our minds circle our perception, only to joust back in when we are destined." ~Drew Roulette
About the Artists:
Travis Lawrence
Influenced by Jungian psychology and mythology, Travis Lawrence uses the art of printmaking to create illustrious allegorical imagery. The viewer is invited to explore the content of his hand-carved hand-painted Works through a contemplative interaction with the represented archetypes.
Travis resides in the Midwest where he was born and raised. Having a religious upbringing opened his perspective to the interaction with ideas greater than and/or within oneself. He utilizes the art of creation as an act of opening doorways and manifesting these ideas through symbol and metaphor. Similar to alchemy, Travis uses printmaking processes as a meditative procedure of transforming the mundane into a higher state.
Drew Roulette
People call me Count Dubious, the count of all surrounding Counts. No, they don’t call me that. My Birth name is Drew Roulette and I live in San Jose, California. I paint in the style of what I call “Whimsical Trans-psychedelia.” Without malice I like to make people laugh when presented with my paintings - to reflect the world as mysteriously silly with a twist of outré.
