Ken Rigney, local Northwest artist and a fellow graduate of the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics, is on display at the Lage Oswego Festival of the Arts from June 20th to June 22nd. The festival runs from 10 am to 9 pm over the weekend. His?pieces will include three scultures in the open exhibit and one in the juried showing. The artist will be there at the Artists Champaigne Reception on June 20th between 6 pm and 7:30 pm.

Ken is a profoundly talented sculptor, specializing in shock art and abstract scultures. Regardless of the evil you may perceive from his work, the monstors, disfigured busts and abstractions nonetheless preserve the humanity built into each design and portray the emotions each piece represents with subtlety through horror. His greatest influences while a student at the VSAA were H. R. Gieger and the masters of horrow movies. Ken puts a lot of himself into this creations, both in physical labor and emotional extrusion.

Check out his art on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/kenrigney. And please go to the showing this weekend.

Held at Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 South State St, Lake Oswego, OR.

I am trying to get all my services and blogs, from MySpace to AllegedGenius.com, channeled through this site as a repository. Unfortunately, my server host decided to instigate a quota for upload file totals, or at least that’s the error I got, so it will be a little while until I get that completed. Once done, you few readers I have will hopefully be joined by others who are forwarded here to follow my thoughts. I have three blogs that are being updated, with MySpace being the most updated to help my friends keep up with me. I see no reason to leave my main blog untouched and stale, so combining RSS feeds is the next logical step.

I will let you know when we are up and running. In the mean time, I’m off to kick server admin ass.
