Artists Republic is pleased to showcase The Reflected Sound of Everything, a solo show by Don Pendleton.

Pendleton’s new works will be exploring past themes and showing them in a new light. Since much of his graphic design work has not been seen by many viewers outside of the skateboarding world, he wants to revisit those ideas for a new audience. This show will be “…the present and the past combined merging into a one single statement that’s a reflection of a little bit of everything over the past 18 years.”  In order to present these ideas in a new way he has focused on a different technique of old school cut and paste. “The interesting thing about cut paper is that it’s ultimately a combination of design, illustration, color theory with a similar composition I use with painting so hopefully it’s a step beyond my usual work.”

Unlike Pendleton’s previous solo shows with us, this one will be focusing on the process and the embodiment of his work over the years. With the focus being on the process; the flow of the works will become a narrative along the way. “Past shows have all been paintings so it’s a very typical approach to creating the work. I feel like with this exhibit, I was more conscious about the colors and how the pieces connect to each other, the flow from one piece to the next so it’s a more cohesive, flowing body of work.”
