happy new year!

goodbye, good riddance, to 2017 - worst year ever! - yay for 2018!

"trecos", the nananano x trevor cosplay book, coming out next month - exhibition to coincide at span art gallery 01 to 06 february (includes mari shimizu) - and working towards my own next exhibition at the end of this year, hopefully! - a black rubber theme - "noir nursery"?

inspired by babyart - batgirl edition

“batgirl” (detail) 2015

posting the above pic on instagram prompted quite a few reinterpretations - pretty russian girls (predominantly) making themselves scary and unpretty in the name of babyart cosplay

a few people also commenting it looks like plaaastic - which it does - but it was actually based on a painting i did back in 2001 - as plaaastic apparently always a fan of my work, it’s possible she may have styled her hair after that painting? - i doubt it really ...tho she did dye her hair blue inspired by another of my paintings

“black” (detail) 2001 - and plaaastic circa 2014

and lastly kedism quality from a couple of years ago - she was also my inspiration! (eyes and spot by nose)

"virtual gallery" now open

an "art for sale" section added to my web site - just in time for christmas! - basically this is most everything that is unsold and available at this time - and being sold directly from me! - hopefully ending up on the walls of fans - inquiries welcome at baby_art [at] hotmail.com - if it isn't listed it's old and sold - or new and not yet available...

この度、トレヴァーブランのネットギャラリーをオープンいたします。

旧作にはなりますが、baby art 直接の販売ということで、
お求めやすい価格の設定としております。

trevor 作品を本当に愛してくださる方に、
是非、オリジナルを持っていて欲しいと、願っています。


Trevor Brown

１９８０年代より、独自の表現を貫き続け、
その世界観は、ブレることがありません。
一見残酷にみえるその世界の中には、
彼自身の可愛さやユーモアが垣間見え、
また現実逃避を試みて作品の少女に憑依しているような所があります。

トレヴァーの絵を見て眉をひそめる、しごく真っ当な大人達を尻目に、
世界中のちょっぴり尖った少女たちが、
トレヴァーをこよなく愛してくれるのは、
トレヴァー作品が彼女達を代弁しているからかもしれません。


パートナーが日本人ですので、
日本語で気軽にお問い合わせください。

tama - rosette exhibition

vanilla gallery 21 november to 03 december - 500yen

so happy to meet tama again and see new works (i apologise for being hopeless to talk to, tama!)



my shopping haul: post cards, book and mirror - the book is a limited (?) "best of" collection published by the gallery - hard cover in slipcase - A4 size - does contain several new previously unpublished works - supplemented by a couple of post card sets - tho still i think some works in the exhibition yet to be printed (wah! i need everything!)



this was my favourite - predictably! - and, predictably, it had already sold   : /

mirror - there were also badges and stickers and things, and a calendar - but i don't even know what day of the week it is,  i never use calendars (except maybe for marking tama exhibition dates!)

トレコス

a book currently in production of the nananano “trecos” (trevor cosplay) works - 22 altogether - we wanted to do a few more new ones but other members of “the team” (the photographer, make-up and cg artists) howled in protest - the book will however include some behind-the-scenes offshot photos 

an exhibition being planned at span art gallery the first week of february to coincide with the book’s release - as the work previously shown at span art, i actually really wanted to do the exhibition in osaka - but that never worked out - are there no good galleries anywhere any more? (that want me!) [don’t answer that, rhetorical question] 

i think it’ll be more a nananano exhibition than a trevor brown exhibition, as i have depleted original works available (only half a dozen?) - there is one nice new (i.e. unseen) painting tho - doll artist mari shimizu called in to provide some back-up - she’ll be making a new doll inspired by my work(!) - and there’ll be a book-signing event, needless to say - more detais later...
