I Thought you Knew, epoxy resin, mixed media on wood, 44 x 70, 2012

I am in a group show, “6 Painters,” with fellow artists Tom Bunnell, Cavan Fleming, Tom Green, Nora Sturges, and  Champneys Taylor, running through February 25th at the Civilian Art Projects, 1019 7th Street, NW across from the DC Convention Center in Downtown, DC.  The gallery is open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 1 to 6pm.  I hope you get a chance to stop by.  The show is spectacular!

Thanks to Karen Sommer Shallet, editor of DC magazine, for featuring me in the December Arts & Power issue.  Writer Sarah Wildman did a great job interviewing me and understanding how art, dermatology and facial expressions interact.  Special thanks to photographer Benjamin Tankersley for coming to my studio in Kensington to shoot me at work and with my latest series of paintings, “Don’t Worry, I’m Not Dead Yet”.

“Don’t Worry I’m Not Dead Yet”  incorporate actual letters I wrote home to my parents when I was 13 and went away to a  summer camp in upstate New York for a couple of months.  The text references an earlier time, when children wrote letters home and the pace of communication was far slower.  Read More

“+1″ Group Exhibition of Small Works

Several artists who have shown with Sloan Fine Art and SFA Projects during their 2010/2011 season were asked to create a new piece and each invite one artist of his or her choice to participate.  In 2010 I created “Blowing Bubbles,”  a 10″ x 10″  epoxy on wood piece that I felt was perfect for the show.  If you are in NYC any time before July 29th, stop by Sloan Fine Art in the East Village at 128 Rivington Street.  For more information, go to www.sloanfineart.com.

Eric Finzi C’77, a dermatologic surgeon, has molded and sculpted hundreds of faces over the years: old men, young women, even legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt. He’s plumped up lips, smoothed out brow lines, sucked up excess fat—and that’s just in his artwork.

This morning, he’s been working on faces in his art studio—a former auto body repair shop in a Kensington, Maryland, warehouse—but in a few hours, it’s off to the other faces awaiting him at his cosmetic-surgery practice in nearby Chevy Chase. He’s been splitting his work hours between art and surgery for over a decade now, the result of a promise he made to himself after finishing his medical residency.
