PRESERVATION OF JAZZ ON SILK PAINTED SILK

PHOTO OF EVENT

The House of Bourbon is located on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. They feature authentic Jazz music. This drawing was started and completed while the band played. A few years later it was choosen as the basis for a large painting completed in 2016. Two horn players become the center of attention. The trumpet is the leader. A stand up bass and pianist fill out the richness of the music. A tip jar caught the artists eye on the floor. The drawing has a cubist syle with lines cutting the figures. The lines mimic the lighting and the feeling of the sound.

Maison Bourbon

The Preservation of Jazz, is a painting based on a drawing made by the artist, July of 2014, at an old bar called, Maison de Bourbon, in the heart of American Jazz on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. It is otherwise known as, The House of Bourbon. Featuring two brass instrumentalists flanked by an upright bass and a keyboard player in the shadows. The whole composition shimmers as if dancing. A tip jar stands ready for your accolades. As a bonus, the gold frame is hand- painted with Opaline on the outside edge. A labor of love, six months in the making, The Preservation of Jazz, is signed Shoosty.

Seeing the world from an airplane window you can’t help but see the grandscale of the organization directed by humankind. As an oil painter I fixated on the concept of how oil changed the landscape. In so many ways it is oil based engines that have transformed the world.

UF College of Art In 2016, Shoosty, established a scholarship at the University of Florida College of Art, his alma matter. At the time his daughter was going to the same college studying Art History. In conversation with the school he was sharing his progress with the iPad pro and asking for some photos to see what he could do with them. The gladly shared some great photos which become the collection following this page. UF Project

University of Florida, College of Art, Using the original photo and the artists iPad pro with an iPencil and an App called Art Rage the artist conceived of a version of the college of art where all the bvertical panels glow with color. Trees are like confetti held still by invisable branches. The photos show the artist’s daughter, Carly, a student of Art History at the artist’s alma matter.

Chasing Jazz Festivals in Scandinavia Summer of 2016 Two Shoes Wearing Four Shoes

European Tour

Summer 2016, In the summer of 2016 I did a walk about with my oldest son Jason. Our mission was to seek out music festivals in Scandinavia. We started in Denmark, went to our first Jazz festival in Pori, Finland, and our second in Molde, Norway, finally heading to Scotland for nine days in Edinburgh to include a drive in the highlands. Prior to the trip I made it a mission to write a book, draw every minute of the day, write 20 songs, and loose 10 pounds. Here is that book, it has a few poems and lots of drawings. I never did loose the 10 pounds. At each location Jason had a local person meet us to take us around. In this way we were able to make a deep dive into the culture and form lifelong friendships. My hat is off to the family of Marie Pendersen, in Denmark, and Chris Ma, from the UK, Tommi from Finland, Anne-Marie and her husband Sivert and Sivert’s cousins friends Erik and Steffen, John Tanney, who is a native of Scotland, we flew him in spe-

cial for the adventure. with special guest star, George Tandy, from the USA. Stephen Shooster

RON CARTER ORIGINAL PHOTO BY STEPHEN SHOOSTER

COLOR SWATCH

Ron Carter, one of the premier bass players of modern Jazz was captured by the artist during his concert tour with Pat Metheny during the summer of 2016 at the Molde, Jazz Festival, in Norway. Mr. Carter, one of the original members of the Miles Davis Quartet formed in the 1960’s, is also Professor Emeritus of the Music Department of the City College of New York having taught there for 20 years. Shooster’s painting captures the master in action. His brush strokes matched the sounds as it was complete while he played. Molde is the scene of the 2nd oldest Jazz Festival in Europe.

Molde Sax Fireworks is a digital illustration conceived during the summer of 2016 while on a Scandinavian tour of Jazz festivals with the artist’s son, Jason. The photo was taken true a storefront window of a local flower shop. The flower arrangement is by Lecilie Rindarez. Molde is a small town located in Norway at the same latitude as Alaska. Within the window of the local flower store, Molde Blomster, was a simple setup of flowers placed in the horn of a saxophone. It’s brass skin reflecting the colorful arrangement. Catching the eye of the artist it became the model for his afternoon drawing. Molde is the scene of the 2nd oldest Jazz Festival in Europe.

A few months after making this digital painting, Charles Bradley died. He tried so hard to make it in the music business that it was only the last year or more that he was finally recognized. I heard him. His music was rough and raw and full of lament, “Why is it so hard to make it in America?”

Robots Shaping People. I joined a local high school robotics club in 2016 as the web design coach. During the competitions. I watched as the kids frantically attempted to fix their robots. During this time I took some photos and converted them to digital oil paintings. Later, when I looked at the results I saw something I did not expect; The people were making robots but at the same time the robots were making the people. - Shoosty 2016

Robotics IN 2014 I JOINED ATLANTIC TECHNICAL SCHOOL ROBOTICS PROGRAM. THEY MET IN THE EVENING TWICE A WEEK.

People Making Robots / Robots Making People Published March 29th, 2016 Stephen Shooster

I recently joined a robotics club with the intention of helping kids to learn how to build the website. It didn't take long for me to join the team and go to some competitions. Robotics clubs love to tout STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. From the perspective of a Fine Artist I see things in a different way. To prove the point I made the above digital oil painting. It surprised me when it was done because I thought I was making a painting of kids building a robot. Instead, what the painting taught me was that the robot was also building the kids, which is much more poignant. Anyway, I am now touting STEAM - Science, Technology, Engineering. ART, and Mathematics, every chance I get. After all who wants to live in a cold world where art and design don't take the front center of everything we do. Sometimes the sheer beauty alone is enough to carry the whole project. Art gives us a chance to connect the pieces from ancient myth, all the way through current technology and science fiction. Bottom line, if your interested find a local robotics team and see what you can do to help them. If you can't find one, then please allow me to make you an honorary member of ours.

The University of Florida College of Art held an event on Sept. 21st, 2016 at the home of Armando and Maria Guerra, announcing the inclusion of the Daniel Lewis Dance Collection’s into the college archive. During the event, the host gave the artist a tour of her collection. One piece stood out of an old church. He used that church as the basis for, Sanctuary. The original image was photograph. Shooster changed the composition into a fisheye view making it more dramatic. Then using impressionistic strokes, built up the surface, turning the sky into night and stylising the rest. The atmosphere became scrolling lines. Stars and the moon were added to complete the magical feeling. The most striking features are the neon colors. The most poignant being the center of the front door where a marque is emblazzoned, ‘Sanctuary.’

European Tour

Summer 2016, In the summer of 2016 I did a walk about with my oldest son Jason. Our mission was to seek out music festivals in Scandinavia. We started in Denmark, went to our first Jazz festival in Pori, Finland, and our second in Molde, Norway, finally heading to Scotland for nine days in Edin- burgh to include a drive in the highlands. Prior to the trip I made it a mission to write a book, draw every minute of the day, write 20 songs, and loose 10 pounds. Here is that book, it has a few poems and lots of drawings. I never did loose the 10 pounds. At each location Jason had a local person meet us to take us around. In this way we were able to make a deep dive into the culture and form lifelong friendships. My hat is off to the family of Marie Pendersen, in Denmark, and Chris Ma, from the UK, Tommi from Finland, Anne-Marie and her husband Sivert and Sivert’s cousins friends Erik and Steffen, John Tanney, who is a native of Scotland, we flew him in special for the adventure. with special guest star, George Tandy, from the USA.
