<p><strong>A first collection of Los Angeles artist Jon Huck's hauntingly beautiful watercolor paintings on paper and wood</strong></p><p>The bold first collection of watercolors on paper and wood by Los Angeles artist Jon Huck (born 1961), <i>At the Drop of a Hat</i> portrays a wild tableau of misfits and weirdos caught in a panoply of odd scenarios and ambivalent moods. There are masks, costumes, recurring props and motifs, and a pervasive ambiguity between human and beast. A gleefully deranged comedy animates these bright surfaces--a sense of spontaneous mischief and delight in the brush strokes and blurred paints--but also a longing within the characters themselves, hints of dark melancholy and unsettling private narratives.<br>With a self-taught experimental style both unrestrained and delicately precise, Huck is a nuanced observer of gesture, posture and facial expression, of the personae that conceal us and the flaws that make us real.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Jon Huck<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ice Plant<br><b>Published:</b> 01/03/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 128<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 10.40h x 7.90w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780999265598
