The Fayetteville Underground invites you to an opening reception at the Fossil Cove Brewing Company’s tasting room showcasing two local artists. David Bachman explores his darker and more subconscious material withNocturnal Musings.

This Exhibition is part of a two month summer partnership between the Fayetteville Underground and Fossil Cove Brewing Company bringing local art and local beer to local people. Every Tuesday night during the month of July a percentage of all proceeds earned at Fossil Cove will be donated to support the programming at the Fayetteville Underground.

June’s Fossil Cove exhibition and opening reception begins Thursday, June 16th, from 6-9pm and is located at 1946 N Birch Ave, Fayetteville, AR. There will be Live music, a food truck, and of course beer from Fossil Cove. The exhibition continues until July 17th during Fossil Cove’s regular tasting room hours.

David Bachman
David grew up in south Florida. The rich colors and textures of the subtropics have a strong influence on his art. David has called Fayetteville home for the past forty years. He holds a MFA degree from Florida State University.

He has always considered himself a painter, working in the daylight of his attic studio. But three years ago he began something new, a consistent night time ritual of sketching and working with mixed media before sleep.  The result is the series Nocturnal Musings, a darker and more subconscious product than his work during the day.

These elaborate layers of line and color are all mixed media on paper using a combination of pencils, printing ink, shoe polish, paint, and collage.

 

Octavio Logo
About the Artist: Octavio Logo is a visual artist born in Mexico City. He graduated from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México in Classic Studies, Greek and Latin, and studied Visual Arts at Bellas Artes University. He currently works as a restorer of ancient books in various Mexican universities and institutions. Since 2003 he has been conducting workshops on bookbinding and painting throughout Mexico. He has recently completed a 100ft long mural depicting Mexican History, which is being installed in a Mexico City business. In addition, Logo works as an illustrator of graphic novels.

Illuminations Series- Painted Works: The painting series is a reflection of the last two years of Ocatvio’s life. These new paintings were developed here in Fayetteville and reflects three particular interests of the artist. The relationship between Fibonacci series (the golden section) and the human anatomy. Second, the presence of death in life. And finally, the spaces between light and shadow, life and death, harmony and chaos.
