Greg Craola Simkins 'The Pearl Thief' Show Details
Monday, November 2, 2009
Here are the details of the upcoming show by artist Greg 'Craola' Simkins, it is called 'The Pearl Thief' and it tells the story of a greedy monster, which travels the world stealing the imaginations of unsuspecting souls. The stolen imaginations exist in the form of pearl, but not the type of pearl that we are familiar with. In Simkins' world, the pearl holds much more value. "Inside of everyone's mind, there is a place which holds all the ideas, all the thoughts and creativity that a person will need for a life time. We have some notion of it from our dreams where it sometimes surfaces as a cloud of images jumbled together. In fact it is in the deepest part of our dreams where these confused clouds become most potent and luminous. This my friends is a Pearl. It is also what 'The Pearl Thief' lusts for the most and has devoted his entire existence to taking each and every one in to his possession, both as treasure and as currency."
To stop 'The Pearl Thief' and return all of the stolen imaginations, there is an interactive puzzle that the gallery has created for Simkins fans and gallery patrons. When solved, the puzzle will lead them guests to a free 5 x 5 inch, original Simkins painting! The Pearl Thief art show runs from Tuesday November 3rd - November 25 th at Gallery 1988 Los Angeles
