“Step Free” an exhibit of painting and photography by Wes Davis and Jayme Goodwin

This month Beatnik Studios will feature artworks by Wes Davis and Jayme Goodwin. Showing together for the first time Wes and Jayme will be exhibiting works on the beauty grace and flow of Dance and Skateboarding. This show will depict the similarities between the two seemingly different talents.

Wes Davis Graduated from Sac State with a Bachelor of Arts in Photography. He was instrumental in the creation of Beatnik Studios. Currently he works as a professional photographer, shooting for several publications in Sacramento such as Submerge and Sacramento News and Review. Wes has always been a skateboarder and has been photographing it for years as a passion project. This will be the first time Wes has shown this body of work.

Jayme Goodwin Graduated from Sac State with a BA in art. Currently he works at Pretty in Ink as a Tattoo artist. Jayme has been fascinated with painting dancers for some time now. His work is muted with eerie undertones but is captivating in the way he depicts the grace and beauty of his subject. “I love painting dancers because the whole art form is visual. They are aware of every square inch of their bodies and how it is perceived by the viewer.”

January 14th from 6:00 PM to 8:00PM
Live music 9:00PM to 12:00AM

Charles Dilulo graduated from Sacramento State with a BA in art. He then went on to work at the DMV for years where he would walk to and from work everyday. Any chance he got he would cut through alleyways because, “That’s where you find the best stuff”. For about 10 years he has been meticulously compiling various objects and asembling them into beautiful works of art. Currently, his studio is a house which is a virtual museum of Charles’s work. No wall, chair, or lamp has gone untouched by Charles’s artistic hand.

Andy Littlefield graduated from Chico state with a BFA in drawing and painting. His mono-transfer prints on wood are notable for their understatement. Andy works in a print shop where he scavenges his wood canvases and frames from discarded shipping material. After transferring his photographs onto wood panels he selectively paints in the areas he wants the viewers eye to go; creating a moody, almost eerie effect. Andy refers to himself (jokingly) as “The Dark Thomas Kinkade” pointing to the fact that his work is reproducible, easily accessible to the viewer and affordable.
