The 'Nerdstalgia' group exhibition curated by @kendopaints is finally opening tonight at @thinkspace_art ! Here's my new 11 by 14" oil painting for this show, titled 'Anywhere Door'.
I grew up watching a lot of Doraemon and I'll say it's one of the first few anime that helped weave and shape fantastical narratives in my mind while I was still a kid. Elements like the time traveling machine that brought you back in time (or the future), the anywhere door that was essentially a portal to anywhere, and of course Doraemon the robot cat who was not just a friend but a savior in so many ways to a boy that was just beginning to experience the pain of teenage life.
'Anywhere Door' is my tribute to Doraemon. Thank you for being there when I was just a lonely kid myself as well.
'Nerdstalgia' opens tonight February 10th at 6-10pm at @thinkspace_art and runs till March 2nd 2024.
Please dm @thinkspace_art for inquiries if you might be interested in collecting this piece.
PS: What were you watching when you were a kid?
