Charles Bell Art
British, 1774-1842
Charles Bell was a Photorealist painter from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who was known for creating vibrant still lifes of everyday items such as pinball machines, marbles, gumball machines and vintage toys 10 times their actual size. Bell started having solo shows in New York in 1972. He also participated in group exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the National Air and Space Museum and the Miyagi Museum of Art, among others.
While many other artists in the 1970s were experimenting with Minimalism and Conceptual Art, Bell was a member of a small group of artists who painted a reflection of iconography and capitalism in America. By using consumer objects, Bell shared similar interests with the Pop artists of the 1960s, but, like other Photorealists, he placed them in a sphere of criticism rather than praise. In his 1986 painting "The Judgement of Paris," Bell recreated the Greek myth using Barbie and Ken dolls and a G.I. Joe figure, as well as other toys. This work is close in size to Peter Paul Rubens’ "The Judgement of Paris," which is almost 13 feet long.
Bell died in New York in 1995.to

Matt Griffin - Dune Variant - Contemporary Cinema Movie Film Posters
Located in Asheville, NC
Dune - Variant:
Dune is a 1984 American epic science fiction film written and directed by David Lynch and based on the 1965 Frank Herbert novel of the same name. The film stars Kyle MacLachlan (in his film debut) as young nobleman Paul Atreides, and includes an ensemble of well-known American and European actors in supporting roles. It was filmed at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City and included a soundtrack by the rock band Toto, as well as Brian Eno.
Set in the distant future, the film chronicles the conflict between rival noble families as they battle for control of the extremely harsh desert planet Arrakis, also known as "Dune". The planet is the only source of the drug melange—also called "the spice"—which allows prescience and is vital to space travel, making it the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe. Paul Atreides is the scion and heir of a powerful noble family, whose inheritance of control over Arrakis brings them into conflict with its former overlords, House Harkonnen. Paul is also a candidate for the Kwisatz Haderach, a messianic figure in the Bene Gesserit religion. Besides MacLachlan, the film features a large ensemble cast of supporting actors, including Patrick Stewart, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell...
