Rev on the Rocks, Acrylic and Varnish on Wood Panel by Louisville artist Tommy Rallis
Dimensions: 24" x 36"
"Rev on the Rocks is a cinematic, poster-style artwork that captures the raw, unfiltered spirit of this gallery—bold, vibrant, and unapologetically alive. At its core is Rev, an electrifying embodiment of chaos and charisma: the sexy, dangerous, adventure-hungry life of the party, astride a pink great white shark named Gladys. Why do these characters represent the energy of the gallery? Honestly, I can't say for sure. I followed instinct, chasing a feeling rather than a formula—pure visual instinct and kino. Stylistically, the piece draws inspiration from Frank Frazetta’s heroic fantasy compositions and the glossy, over-the-top aesthetic of 1980s and 1990s airbrushed product advertisements."
