Kort Duce's show "Collective Whimsy: Cockeyed Art" runs through June 16 at the Art Museum of Eastern Idaho. Above is one of his chicken-themed acrylic paintings, "Alarm Clock." |
Kort, a commercial photographer, embarked on this project in 2007 when his wife, Kortny Rolston, bought him a set of acrylic paints and a few canvasses. Five years later, he has put together a collection of extraordinary paintings that I would encourage anyone reading this to go see.
This being a business-related blog, I want to mention that he has an online store where you can buy not only the artwork but keychains, cocktail napkins, cards, etc. Here's the link: http://www.cockeyedart.com/#!
