This piece was commissioned by an aerial dancer and musician in Santa Fe named Elise Southwick. She wanted an image for the cover art for her album Colored Red by Azalea. This is a drawing of her hair, it can be seen abstractly or interpreted in many ways. I like that it kind of came out in the shape of a heart.

hand-pulled silk screened shapes, ink drawing on paper. 2016.

This was the first of the detailed drawings that I added color to. I decided to create a multilayered silkscreen print to draw on top of.

This piece was influenced by local artist Beth Secor, who suggested for me to segment off the drawing to create smaller compositions within it. This influence is seen in my later work such as in the piece Scales, and is becoming a more prevalent thematic anchor in my current work. Notes of artistic inspiration from Beth are jotted down in her handwriting on the lower left side.

paint, ink drawing, and gold leaf on paper, 2021.

This piece plays with the idea of zooming in and out of things, using varying tools to create different thicknesses in line and stroke. Segmented areas create an aesthetic and an organizational composition referencing Mondrian, while large while strokes play in juxtaposition to these more seemingly ordered and contained areas.

hand-pulled silk screened shapes, ink drawing, and gold leaf on paper, 2016.

This piece started out as a portrait of a friend, over the course of working on it I experienced a lot of betrayal regarding this person, so it turned into a very angry expression. Kintsugi is a Japanese form of mending ceramics with gold. Here I have used the gold leaf in expressive text and splatters to signify the sealing of the ended fate of this relationship instead. Ending this relationship allowed me to mend myself by removing what wasn’t good for me and sealing it out of my life forever.

Dude, You Are Not Aerosmith!!!, acrylic, charcoal, and collage on paper, 27 ½” x 20 ½”, $4,000.

In association with SPACE C7 in San Antonio, G Spot Contemporary Gallery is proud to present WATCH AND ABSORB #3, an exhibition of new work by the reclusive artist, Franklin Ackerley, curated by Texas artist, Jeff F. Wheeler.

Known as much for his Pynchon-esque life as he is for his irreverent and over-the-top pop concoctions, Ackerley began his meteoric rise to relative obscurity in the early 90’s when he was in graduate school at Central Washington University. While still in school he developed a West Coast following with raucous exhibitions in various alt-spaces and Universities from Seattle to San Francisco. As his fame rose, heshied away from the spotlight focusing on travel and artmaking. Ackerley hasn’t been seen in public since 1997. Since then, his whereabouts have been a matter of conjecture, with apocryphal accounts recently placing him in, among other places, Wichita, Kansas; Fallon, Nevada; Truth and Consequences, New Mexico; and even Split, Croatia.
