Kimbra Inspired Dancing Stencil Panels









This is a brand new collaboration between James Roberts (me) and Mark Bueno, a prolific body and mural painter in the western US. This series of 11 wood panels was inspired by the video for 'Settle Down' by Kimbra, the New Zealand pop singer of Gotye 'Somebody I Used to Know' fame. This project is a meditation on movement, gesture and time, and a question about reproducibility and uniqueness. Thanks for looking. -J

Olena Kostevych



Olena Kostevych

An incredible performer and a knockout!

Olena Kostevych is a pistol shooter from Ukraine who has won three olympic medals. It's strange how she drifts into my attention every so often when I get interested to watch pistol shooting.  She's always there in the top women. It's easy to think of her as an ordinary person, which is interesting. I wonder how different she is than the competitor on tv. There aren't many people I know by name and admire, but know almost nothing about. She's a stranger. Maybe she's a total super bitch. From what I saw on the olympics, just from watching her shoot, I'm 99 percent sure she's awesome. Maybe people really are that transparent. I like to think so. She makes for a very enjoyable drawing, anyway.
