Travis Bruce Black is an Artist and part-owner of the Bright Rain Gallery in Albuquerque Old Town.  Travis' new show BigBang-Brrrd is a selection of explosive and colorful birds, figures and portraits.  His work is driven by the desire to invent fresh ways to create beauty using bold techniques and design.  His newest paintings, the "Chirp" series, uses the Bird form and environment as a jump off point for abstraction, extreme color and semi-disorienting patterning.  A children's book is in the works using the chirp series' visual findings set to be finished this year with author and solar-CEO of Powur of Citizenre Solar Company http://www.powur.com/web/ .
Black's BigbangBRRRD is presently up and will be up until March 3rd
The opening reception is this Friday February 19th from 6-9 which will be Old town's Artscrawl.
