The Liquid Sex Series 2018-2019
Photography was my first love. I met my used but willing Minolta X-370 at the age of 17. I've always had an interest in erotic literature so naturally that evolved into erotic images. Shooting for the Liquid Sex Series started in February 2018. In the beginning, I was using myself in mildly suggestive PG-13 images. As my photos gained more attention on social media, I found people who wanted to be a part of the Liquid Sex Series. The more pictures I took, the more bodies opened to the camera. Not only am I showing the natural beauty of the human form but now, I’m documenting real moments of sex and sexuality.

Art on Madison is pleased to present Castles in the Air, a solo exhibition by Cleveland based painter, Timothy Gaewsky. Castles in the Air explores Gaewsky’s personal nostalgia for the retro 8-bit video games that he played growing up in the 1980’s and early ’90’s. Gaewsky’s colorful and whimsical paintings appropriate and manipulate design elements and visual cues from some of his favorite games. Gaewsky is interested in ways his new arraignments of modified game references might spark a sense of nostalgia, i.e. a sentimental yet deceptive or false memory associated with games from that era. Viewers may also appreciate other recurring visual motifs, including psychedelic inspired flowers, vibrant star bursts, multicolored light rays, and bold geometric patterns, all mashed-up and composed to lure the viewer in and share in Gaewsky’s developing narratives. Each painting, in essence, becomes a quasi-screenshot of a different level of an expansive video game he is creating for himself and the viewer.
Timothy Gaewsky is a painter and multidisciplinary artist who has exhibited both nationally and abroad in group exhibitions at galleries and museums including AC Institute (NYC, NY), Punch Gallery (Seattle, WA), Gallery Project (Ann Arbor, MI), Toledo Museum of Art (Toledo, OH), AQUA Art Miami (Miami Beach, FL) and Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art (Rotterdam, NL). Gaewsky earned an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a BFA from The Cleveland Institute of Art. He was awarded an Individual Excellence Award from the Ohio Arts Council in 2015. Gaewsky lives and works in Cleveland, Ohio. https://www.timothygaewsky.com/ |
