Great for your bar or den!
This series of wide images celebrates the art of drinking.
No stranger to the pastime, Rory populates these compositions with a lowball crowd that reel from the giddy excitement of unexpected color schemes and be-bop compositions.
This series of acrylic paintings are on wood panels and custom framed.
Inspired by cartoons during the time of beat-niks, Paul Klee, Percussion Music, kitsch shot glasses and a half a lifetime of pursuing the hipster dream, each composition demonstrates Rory's fascination with color, pattern and line.
Painted between 2001 through 2005, these paintings are inevitably the result of the syncopated bombardment of 50 years of pop culture, and a rye salute goodbye to one too many personal lost weekends.
Secret: Rory no longer drinks. |
