Marin-based artist Travis Weller introduces his new and unique Far Out/Out Far Capsule Collection which uses paper and oil techniques. He creates engaging graphic abstractions that also celebrate his past time of trail running. It is full of colorful details that are drawn to honor the forests and ridge lines of Mount Tamalpais.
Weller talks about his latest collection stating that “The artwork that inspired the print for this collection is my take on camouflage, both in the physical and emotional sense. The print can be associated with patterned camouflage, helping to become one with the environment. But equally important, it speaks to how emotion is often camouflaged externally and only felt within. Running helps me to break down the walls to access deep emotions, bring them to the surface and into my work.”
