David Welker Morrie's Wigs & The Horsemen and the Prophet Prints World Premier Exclusive

David Welker has two excellent prints for a couple of outstanding gallery shows coming up this month and it is with great pleasure I give you the exclusive debut of them.

First up is Morrie's Whigs print for the Gallery1988 show opening this week at the new location 7021 Melrose Avenue, and to launch the new gallery space they have “Product Placement” opening on March 9th! The show features screenprint ads for your favorite movie and TV products that you wish existed in real life. 

Morrie was one of those great back ground characters in the movie Good Fellas that kept on trying to be gangster but just never could. 

The print is a 16x24" screen print with an edition of 70 and will only be for sale from Gallery1988

Later this month the Loaded Guns show will open in Chicago at Galerie F Produced by Matt Dye of  Blunt Graffix.

David's print for that show is called The Horsemen & the Prophet it is a 22x17" screen print  with an edition of 40. Only available at the show and online later from Galerie F

I asked David how he created it :

With the Horsemen piece I wanted to set up a hypothetical confrontation between pro gun ideology and a nonviolent ideology. The peacemaker is protecting the innocent and offering a carrot to the mistreated horse which may or may not cause a chain reaction of conscious awareness. 

I used a loose representation of the four horsemen of the apocalypse as a comic foil for the gang. 

I drew inspiration from The Conversion of St. Paul & Guernica.

Mark your calenders, it's going to be a good month
