This week we got a ton of use out of our flat-press for a bunch of prints by artist Leon “Tes One” Bedore. These prints can be found at an upcoming showing called “Repeat Offender” at RedLetter1 Gallery which opens October 3rd. For more information on Tes One go to his website HERE or you can read below:

Combining traditional and non-traditional techniques, Tes One creates contemporary works of art that contrast nature with technology, grime with grace. Allowing himself to find beauty in the mundane, he is able to juxtapose rejected landscapes with figurative illustrations, all the while identifying what is common between the conversing elements. These opposing forces coexist to create paintings that are both symbolic and metaphorical. Tes One’s conceptual paintings are assembled from the foundation up; color and cast blanket organic substrates. Incorporating movement within his work brings his energy and message to the viewer, emotions envelope and hold focus.

Tes One’s imagery has appeared in numerous publications in both advertising and editorial capacities. His work has enjoyed acclaim in places such as London, Miami, Detroit, Cleveland and San Francisco. Repeat Offender is Tes One’s second exhibition at RedLetter1.

Go on out and support local artists by going to his opening reception.
